You may lose too much back pressure if you go dual.

I'd put 4 or 5 exhuast tips on there, the more the better. Those little 4 cylinders need all the help they can get, and the more mufflers you have, the more those Camaros and Corvettes will be scared away.

That is not helpful.

The correct response would be to say that the dual option will not add any significant benefit to the vehicle but if you really want it then it is up to you. I have dual exhaust on my car but my car is a v6 and i liked the look when i purchased it. It is a tanabe catback and it is pretty nice.

I'm sorry, honestly dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder is just for visual effect. It is not needed and not any better than a properly sized single exhaust. V6 Accords benefit from dual exhaust because they have 2 headers that can each go back to their own muffler.

Dual exhaust is also heavier and more complicated than a single, considering your 4 cylinder Accord does not have provisions in the body or frame for another exhaust pipe to be ran back there.
