ok fellas i just recently got my body kit for my 97 5sfe 5 speed. the rear bumper for the kit has openings on both sides for exhaust. the question i have is do peeps really put dual exhaust on these things. if so i was wondering if anybody has dual exhaust on their camry. if somebody does would they be willing to take pictures of it for me. a few undercar shots would be awesome. since im cheap and a do it yourselfer im curious to know the tubing routing and mounting brackets used so i can do this myself. yes i have a tubing bender and a welder just kinda need a starting point. i did think of possibly fiberglassing over the exhaust opening on the drivers side but im afraid it may put the look of the rear off balance. tips, suggestions, and or pics would be greatly appreciated. yes im new to the toyota products. im an old school american muscle car guy giving this stuff a try. thanx alot guys and yes this forum is awesome. lots of good stuff here

ya may want to PM meganac83, he has duals on his camry but no body kit. i think it looks good, duals look pretty good on the gen4...if they are done right.

car domain is a great place to find ideas. heres a couple i have saved.

trdkamuri has 'em on his 5s too but he told me that it has adverse effects on the torque- just a point to look out for.

yeah i was wondering if backpressure and balance would be an issue. i certainly dont want to reduce any of the performance on this thing. lord knows it needs more. so i have 2 options. glass over the opening on the kit or hang a muffler there and dont plumb it up just to be gangsta lol. prolly glass over cus i just cant see getting a muffler that would serve no purpose lol. any more suggestions?

if you are doing a dual exhaust and only modding the exhaust after the resonator then i wouldnt worry to much. basically you would just weld in a y-pipe and run smaller diameter say 2.25 at the largest to each side.
