Hey i know im a noob but i need a lil help. I have a 2000 camry with the little 2.2 and i have a question. I know i have to have a custom exhaust made for it but i was wondering. Would it hurt anything if it had dual exhaust. I know it would not give me anymore power i dont think. But i do like the way i looks so what is everyones opinion????? Thanks in advance for everyones time and respones.
some people consider it ricey to mod a I4 with dual exhaust, but hey, its your car so do what makes you happy. i know with the gen 3 cam the spare wheel well needed "adjusting" to make room for the second pipe, but im not to sure for the gen 4s
I think I saw someone with the extreme rear bumper with dual exhausts, I'm still debating whether i want it or not... it looks nice depending on the tips i guess

if later you start thinkin about putting a kit on your car, dual exhaust might be the way to go because most mufflers come with dual openings for exhaust...i have a catback done for my gen3 2.2 and its fine...its all up to you...you are gonna spend more money

Not entirely. It depends on where you want the pipes to exit. I worked with some guys and we ran duals down the sides of the spare tire hold and straight out the back. No problems, and it looked great. Now if you have a body kit, that is a different story. You would then have to route them to match the kits exit points. Which would take some adjustments (cutting).

Mufflers with dual out lets are not made as a splitter for running dual. They are made to have dual tips. Much like V6 Camrys. So Splitting them off of that would not sound very good.
They do make resonators (keep in mind not all resonators are like the one on your own car) that you can place just after the t manifolds. They were originally designed for muscle cars that ran side pipes, but they have now spread into the import world.
A single split muffler sadly won't fit under Camrys do to the placement of the gas tank. You pretty much have to place the muffler right before the rear bumper. Unless you want to get into some major custom work.
If you like the dual look (which i also do), I say do it. The only thing I would worry about, is the sound you would get coming off a 4cyl. If you are running a true dual, you would only have 2 cyl on each pipe, And that will give you a sound similar to a motorcylce. If you are just running a Y-pipe, you will still get the same affect, just not so noticable. So you may want to consider how it will sound before doing it.
Good luck

First, watch your language.
Second, what your doing is considered post whoring, and is not permitted on this forum.
If you had some valid reason why he should not get it besides general dislike, then people would be glad to hear it. But in this case, you opinion is unwanted.
