Hmmm, muffler on the left side? (drivers side)

[pedroalcala]

Ok guys now this might sound like a stupid idea, and I know some of you might flame me but, you guys know how our mufflers are in the right side (passenger side) correct? Well I was thinking and I want your guys opinion on this.

What if I was to install the CD5 rear lip and instead of the muffler being on the right side, would it look bad if I put it on the left side? (angled) and yes I know I will need extra piping but I wanna know what you fellas think.

If any of you have any pics post them up!! I wanna see this "dumb idea" of mine

I cant exactly explain it all, but there's actually a reason for it being on that side. Has to do with either the gas tank and or vapors, but it has something to with gasoline and heat from the exhaust not going together...

Hmm, good point, I actaully thought something like that. But it would really look good though IMO....I don't know what everyone else thinks though

[MikeW]

It doesnt really matter what side it comes out of, honestly. As long as it comes out and there are no holes along the way, lol.

Now i know the next thing that someone is going to say is "what about the v6 accords that have dual exhaust?". Well, theyre probably designed a certain way as are all cars with dual exhaust.

[ikayto]

probably hurt flow, you want as little bends as possible.

[Kyle21]

it might look alright but too many bends make bad sounding exhaust... i say no

[loud92CB7]

why would it need more bend to be on the other side

[Tippey764]

You can do it. I dont think it would matter on a CB though. My brother did it on an evo 4-6 chassis but it made sense because it reduced the ammount of exhaust piping.

[renegade28x]

more bends = less flow
less flow = crappy noise
right side = more heat on gas tank

i may be wrong but doesnt gas expand on heat and give crappy mileage? i thought i remember learning that from my grandpa or w.e lol

but anyways i would just leave it the way it is...dont mod it unless its needed or would be better and in this case...itd b worse lol

[cp[mike]]

you could if you want, but what are you going to do with the old hole?

seems like a lot of work for zero benefit, besides the fact that itll be different... though technically exactly the same, just looks different. also, the driver side doesnt have as much of a space under the trunk as the passenger side does.

I've seen some CB7s with dual exhausts. There's a very custom one here in my city with a body kit and duals. Explain that?

Haha.
Aghh. Bolted on maybe.

[rudimentary]

i would like dual if it had a v6 swap!

[deevergote]

boost_lee has a dual exhaust. Looks good on his car.

There's a tunnel made for the stock exhaust, so you'd have to hang the pipe lower to put it on the other side. Otherwise, there's no real difference. As cpmike said, you'd have to deal with the original hole... so you'd have to fiberglass over it.
