Why does my car have 2 mufflers?
Adding a second exhaust system so that each head and exhaust manifold has its own system allows double the exhaust to be forced out of the engine, thus increasing horsepower. Dual exhaust also decreases some of the back pressure that is common with single exhaust systems.
Do some cars have 2 mufflers?
Your vehicle may have a single or dual exhaust system. In a single exhaust system, your vehicle has one or two exhaust manifold depending on the size of the engine. A dual exhaust may also have an H pipe before the converters to help control back pressure and increase horsepower.
Can a 4 cylinder Accord have a dual exhaust?
So MX-5 guys with duals on their 4-cylinders are upset about them because it adds weight and is totally pointless (the extra pipe out of the muffler). Meanwhile, 4-cylinder Accord owners who have the single add the dual back in, even though performance is, at best, only a hp or two (and weight is increased).
How does a single exhaust lead to a dual exhaust?
After the manifold, the pipes lead to the catalytic converter and muffler. If your vehicle has a single exhaust, the pipe coming out of each manifold is jointed in a Y before the catalytic converter and muffler. A single exhaust has one of each while a dual exhaust has two of each.
What does custom exhaust system do for Honda Accord?

Can a car have more than one exhaust?
A vehicle with two manifolds and two exhaust tips may still have a single exhaust. After the manifold, the pipes lead to the catalytic converter and muffler. If your vehicle has a single exhaust, the pipe coming out of each manifold is jointed in a Y before the catalytic converter and muffler.

What should I replace my dual exhaust manifold with?
When you convert to dual exhaust, be sure to replace the manifolds with headers. Don’t go with a cheap set, either. Choose headers that are stainless steel to reduce rust.
