After the cat run some tubing, Get you an adapter that looks like a Y and should be able to branch it off to both sides. I think that should work. Thats what most of them look like when you look under the car. The only problem would be running that second exhaust since you will have to heat shield it and make a passage for it.

it would be all custom at muffler shop, prolly cost around $150 + price of the 2nd muffler, also it will provide basically 0 performance, gains, maybe even take away some low end performance, 600 hp i6 supras run single exhaust, many aftermarket s2000 exhausts change to single, so if u do this is will be for purely visual purposes

I definitely don't recommend a dual exhaust for various reasons i've already discussed in other threads, but if you WANT to do it, you're going to get custom Y piping. It wont be a real dual exhaust, just 2 tubes from one. You'll need to go to a local muffler shop to have them do it.

But I still dont recommend it. It weighs more, looks weird, and causes more restrictions.

I must agree with selux here. I'm not for the whole dual thing in the first place but in all seriousness if you really want it it would just perform better and sound better to have a single exhaust system and a dummy muffler.

I can't believe I just told someone to add a dummy muffler.

H2290 has the right idea. If you really want a dual muffler on a 92, leave your stock exhaust as it is and add a dummy muffler.

I can't believe I just backed up somebody who recommended a dummy muffler.
