Default Exhaust + Race

Ok i have a question and a story... and then another question lol. My friend wokrs at speedy he said if i get a magnaflow or flowmaster muffler with 2 two tips on the end he could make me some custom pipes to fit it and make it look like a true dual... plus itll sound a lil better and maybe slightly better power... I really dont have alot of money so im looking for a cheaper solution what do you guys think?? Another thing... i know this is in the wrong section but i thought id share it with my sixer friends cuz the v8 guys would prolly just luagh lol. I raced my friends honda accord 2004 2dr coupe automatic last night... I have a 2002 3.8 in standard. He didnt really know what he was doing we raced from a roll (50km/h) but he took off after like the second time i honkd... not fair[:@] and yeah i didnt really catch up. The second time was closer it was from a light but he was still rollin when we started and had a little bit of a better start but his car was pulling on me and he kept letting off after about 120km/h at which point he had about a car length on me. I have the video my friend was behind us in his dodge caravan filming lol. I chirped my tires 1st, 2nd and the 3rd one you cant hear... I thought it was pretty good considering his car has 241hp which is almost 50 more than mine. Bad thing is our liscence plates are fully visible so i dunno if its a good idea to post it up here...?? Plus i dont know how to post it up on here anywasy lol. If you guys wanna see it just tell me if its safe and if so how to post it up... Anyways have a nice day gents.

did you race a v6 accord? those things are almost up to par with 99-04 GT's so its a good thing u only lost by a car. and why dont u truely make it a true dual, rather than having it look like one? try to do a custom x pipe

Yeah it was a 2003 or 2004 accord V6 3.0L 2dr 241hp completely stock in automatic... My other firned has the same one but a 4dr though and i can take his car and i have before... It was a fun race i drove his car right after and it realllllly pulls. My friend has the video im just waiting for him to send it to me its actually pretty good quality.

so what exactly is done to your car? no offense, but i have a hard time believing you can beat a mid-high 14 second car with a low 15 second car if you're stock.

Nothing is done to my car its stock. I really have no reason to be lying to you. The 2dr accord beat me but my other friends 4 door accord couldnt. The 2dr is at 67,000km and the 4dr is at 90,000km + the guy who owns the 2dr accord his older brother used to be a pretty crazy street racer lol... they put octane boost in it and fuel treatments and they take really really good care of it. The other accord, the 4dr doesnt get any of that special treatment plus its heavier and at more km's than the other. That might explain why i could beat it... and again i really have no reason to be lying to you soo if you dont want to believe me then thats ok. What exactl are GT take offs? Is it just getting a stock GT exhaust system from auto wreckers?
