Its been racking my brain for a couple hours on the internet now. I been looking for a universal dual tip muffler because I want to put together pieces to make a exhaust system to cut down on cost. So if any has one or know where i can get one at on the net like a hks or something let me know thanks.

Honestly, I'd stay away from constructing your own exhaust. Many aftermarket companies have struggled to any significant power through an exhaust upgrade. In fact, many have made and released products that actually lose power. It's pretty apparent that it requires much higher level engineering or at least some trial and error (maybe some luck) to get any gains. Unlike most cars, the simpler rules for exhaust design doesn't seem to work too well on the VQ. My recommendation would be to either stick to the stock exhaust or save up for an exhaust known to make more power than stock...

no need to reinvent the wheel..always learn from someone else's mistakes and experience no need for trial and error when you've got a great site like NICO!!!
