I doubt it. Why put a dual exhaust system when it was designed for a single? Plus you would have to cut up the bumper to make room for the second muffler.
Also I bet a dual will weigh more than the single exhaust so I dont see a point in having a dual exhaust especially on a 4 banger.

yeah, im deffently thinkin about doing it, im a big fan of the dual exhaust and seeing it on a jdm would be prett sick too an like i said i dont really care about the weight, cause anything is lighter than the stock one and im not too worried about the performace either since i have some other things planed for the my evo

If you want to stand out, I think a dual exhaust conversion on an Evo VIII is one of the last things you should do. That's pretty ricey. Maybe go with some crazy colored wheels or something.

i agree with the added weight and the probability of zero gains but I think if you look at it from a show-stopper side of things where people want one-offs or a little more show-than-go, then this could be a good option. It could also open the door for other vendors to increase their lines and possible profits to offer such things as dual-exhaust bumpers and various cat-back/TB kits. These are one of those things where it is for some but not for others, but just like anything out there.

Check this out. It was done on an older model evo why not an 8/9? Do whatever you want my man.
