If it's got duals it means someone installed the dual exhaust after the car was purchased.
EDIT: I couldn't disagree more with those saying to leave it stock. Sure you'll lose money in the end, but modding my car through high school kept me busy and taught me quite a bit about working on cars. It's a good experience and has kept me happy.

more like mistychrome vert would be pure sex....most sexy stang ever.
on another note the new accord is 5 years old and has almost 50k miles on it so I'm swapping out the tranny fluid for amsoil synchromesh, how often do you guys change it? I've heard swapping the manual trans fluid can make it smoother in general and especially on cold start shifts.

Yeah I'm about to trade all 3 of my cars in for a 2003 Cobra. Just have to get the yellow one running again. Had it running then the damn harnmonic balancer blew apart. But yeah, there is something wrong with the 2000, it has 200 miles on the tank and it's a 1/4 tank left of gas. My 99 Cobra has 288 miles on the tank with 1/4 tank left.

I know what you mean about the "fast friends cars" thing. I've got a but with a Twin Turbo 3000gt, and a bud with a wrx sti, factory turbo. However, I could buy six mustangs for the price of what they paid for their vehicles, and I would definitely do so.
Modding you car is a very fun pasttime, and you learn a lot about your car in a short amount of time. I would say go for it, what have you got to lose?
