A 205 is about as wide as you can go on a tire. You only have one exhaust bank, so you only need one exhaust pipe. There is no way in hell you are going to more more exhaust gas than you could through a 3 inch exhaust. If you are putting this exhaust on a stock DX, go with a 2.25.

Are you looking for bling or usability? I think you answered your own question on the exhaust, there is no reason to put a dual exhaust on an inline engine (why do you think Supras only have a single exhaust).

You could fit as wide of a wheel as you like on your car, if you want your car to look like a go-kart (which might match the exhaust). As far as largest diameter, I've seen 20s on Civics before. It all depends on how much bruising your ego can take while people point and laugh.

No real offense, just being brutality honest.

BTW, been gone a while...good to see the flame count has gone down a bit.

I suggest you do whatever you want. Do what looks good to you. Honestly, the JDM craze is big right now, but just do what you want and what looks good to you. As far as N20, you can definately get a good used setup for like 500 bucks, and it's an awesome bang for the buck. I would'nt go over a 50 shot on a stock motor though.

hey man.. i don't think that dual exhaust is a good idea... i heard that if u have too much air flow it cuts down on back pressure and you might loose a little horse power.. but thats what i heard.. i may be wrong

get single cat-back exhaust with 2.25 in. piping, max. I wouldn't go over 16 in. wheels. You can tuck 18's though, but you'll have rubbing issues, and it will look like ****
