Money makes things happen. If you want to do it easily and cheap...the Camry platform isn't for you.

Hey man. I'll save you some time. That was my main goal on my solara, dual exhaust. I searched all over and all i got was NO. I called a well known performance shop in new york and they basically said they would do it, but it'd be over $800 for oval pipe, plus if i lowered the car i run the risk of the exhaust scaping. See there is no exhaust channel for the second piping on the drivers side, so it would hang low. The other problem was that in order to keep the mufflers symetrical, you'd have to move the stock muffler over a bit. I spoke with "Mr. B" of teamsc3.com and he has dual exhaust. He ran into a lot of problems when he tried to put on the TRD body kit. Dual exhaust, from that cat back, (which i assume is what you are talking about) is impractical and too expensive. Not for our cars :( If you'd like some direction if you still do want to go through with it, email me

$450 just for another shiny oval seems like a big waste of money :-?

$450 just to add another pipe under your bumper that doesn't enhance performance....eeeehhhh no thanks!

And it probably takes power away... :-?
Yeah, I've owned 2 Solaras so.............................Image

Without the supercharger you'll definately lose power. Mr. B who has dual exhaust said he noticed a little low end power loss, but more importantly you add unnecessary weight. Its not really a big deal and i do agree it looks great. We'll see Moes pics, but dual exhaust is very expensive. How much was labor?

No it's really simple actually. It's easy to get a custom dual exhaust done...but is it benefical? Nope. $450 to lose hp and backpressure? No thanks. I'll keep my $450 Greddy Evo instead.

Well you do have an automatic and you really haven't proved your claims with a dynochart so yeah, those dual tenzo's are only for looks. That's about it.

I got my duals about a year ago I got the mufflers in a sports shop in Glendale and I went to a muffler shop and had them split the pipping from the Cat in total it was about $400.00 :drinking:
