Default Own 4cyl accord, got a new rear bumper but 6cyl. should i put dual exhaust?

my rear bumper got cracked so I got new OEM bumper from the eBay really cheap price, but it has V6 emblem on and also dual exhaust bumper.

Yes, I can't cover the other exhaust part, makes look like 4cyl.
But, V6 emblem, it really hard to take it off from the bumper.

So Im thinking about to put dual exhaust on my 4cyl accord.

But I want to keep the OEM exhaust and I want to put OEM exhaust other side.
Would that be possible?
I dont want to buy Big sound of exhaust, I want to be really quiet.

So can I get 4cyl Oem exhaust to make dual exhaust?

Honda doesnt make it. The 4cyl was made with a single muffler. I didnt know they had V6 symbols on them.

You can customize a dual exhaust on your 4cyl, but it is not recommended since you will lose power somewhere. If you just want the look of the dual muffler maybe you can find the missing side from a V6 Accord and just leave it on hangers, but secure it somehow. In the end I would just get a 4cyl rear bumper or just live with the extra exhaust opening.

I had the same problem, with an accident and all and my rear bumper had the 2 exhuast slots. So what I did was take my car to a muffler shop and they installed a Y pipe that took up the other slot which made it look as a v6 version. Only charged 100 bucks which wasnt to bad...

WILL THE REAR SECTION OF THE EXHAUST OF A V6 FIT ON YOUR CAR?
IF NOT IM SURE IT WOULD ONLY NEED MINOR MOD. THE V6 REAR LOOKS BETTER WITH THE DUAL EXH.

Maybe you can have a piece of pipe connected to the underbody of the car with hangers but not to the exhaust pipe on the other side. I'd not go dual unless if I was willing to compromise a few ponies to make that look. Speaking of dual exhausts on an I4, the S2000 has a dual exhaust setup but how so? It only has one set of header so is there an X-pipe or a Y-pipe to go into dual mufflers?
