Hey guys, I am debating weather or not to do a dual exhaust on my 04 cavy auto 2.2 eco...any one got any info on how much LOSS of Torque would be if I do this ???
"Your a mean mean maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!"
you wouldnt LOSE any torque, you wouldnt see any gain either unless its only got the stock system on it now.

dual exhaust is mainly for looks. and extra weight of the muffler.
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
but if you do duals what's the point of only going one muffler? You don't gain any performance from dual. It does look good though, but it adds weight. So why add all that weight of dual pipes and try to save about a pound by only putting one muffler on it?
^^^ since when do mufflers only weight 1 lb?

the 1 lb thing was just a figure of speech. What's the point of one muffler when you got dual pipes? that doesn't even fall into the looks category. Dual exhaust is for looks. don't stop short with one muffler.
Where can you get a dual exhaust? Is it a direct bolt up or is there major modifactions needed?

Magnaflow, Borla & RK Sport sell a dual exit cat-back setup. You can contact either one of those companies for prices.
Now, if you find their prices to be too much, you could always find a local performance/exhaust shop that can bend you one. Only get compression bends or mendral bends, you defenitley don't want crush bends. With a Dual exit setup, there is alot of bends, last thing you want is an abstruction of exhaust flow on an bend.
I personally have an mendrel bent setup...custom 2 1/2" piping with Magnaflow mufflers:

Hey, I bought a Magnaflow dual cat-back from magnaflowonline.com and I just put it on today. It was a direct bolt-on, the only thing was that I had to take out the bolts for the rear shocks to drop the rear axle-beam in order to fit the new pipe on. Luckily I had it on a lift, with jack stands I can imagine it would've been much more difficult. No complaints so far, I'm happy with it.
