Would that body kit work well with this Thermal exhaust?

http://www.modernperformance.com/dcx/2kthermal.shtml

Being twin exhaust and all, and that body kit having 2 holes for dual exhaust, I'm not sure if the exhaust would fit or look good. What do you guys think?
I'd rather not get a dual exhaust versus the thermal there since the thermal has straighter airflow.
Pretty much all other bodykits I've looked at have dual ports as well.... Not sure what I'm gonna do.

Thanks for any imput!

 

I'll say no, in fact, I'll make that a HELL no, for one, that's a single rear-exit exhaust and the other slot on the rear bumper will be left vacant. Secondly I think the twin pipes are too large for the exhaust slot in the bumper. Might be able to squeeze it in there, but I think that the single rear exit is reason enough. The bumper by itself doesn't look bad, and the muffler by itself doesn't look bad, but together is a big no.

 

That link to that bumper looks hideous to me. And second...most rear aftermarket bumpers you can get have the dual cutouts so I agree it would look odd having single exhaust with dual cutouts. I guess you could leave your current bumper on and make a cutout for the thermal exhaust, otherwise I'm not sure about any bumper that only has one cutout.

 

Hmm... so if I want an aftermarket bumper... I'm pretty much screwed and have to get a dual exhaust...
Great. I mean dual looks cool and all but that thermal looks like it flows so much better.

Thanks for the input!

I guess I should go with the borla dual catback on MP, huh...

 

Actually I just talked to a friend. He said another route might be for me to get a single exhaust pipe (like a borla or magnaflow).
Then just put a dummy pipe in the other slot. That sounds like a good idea to me.
What do you guys think? How would I go about doing that?

 

You might look kinda funny on a cold morning with exhaust fumes only coming out of one tailpipe......

I've seen that done before. I personally like the steam billowing out of both pipes on cold days.

 

stick with only one cutout on the rear bumper, it'll look better than having a dummy or an empty cutout. If you're going to have dual cutout, then get dual rear-exit

 

Really? But a real dual seems like it would flow less, all those bends.
Is it much of a difference?

 

I don't think the flow is that much different between single and dual at least for a neon. I took my stock muffler completely off when I did my exhaust and I ran it. It sounded real similar to how my car sounds now. Just now with the resonator on there it 'smooths' out the sound. I didn't dyno before and after, but I know I picked something up before exhaust and after. I picked up 3 mph in trap speed in the quarter mile from stock exhaust to modded. Now I know I conditions aren't the same...yada yada, but I don't think running dual exhaust really minimizes your flow that much.
