i think dual exhaust looks rel nice. i was planning on doing a mini-me swap to my stock d15b8 with a d16z6 head and IM. im going to boost it as well. any possible kits or something for dual exhuast? would i lose power?

All you'd be doing is adding weight and probably loosing power by going to a dual setup.
Anyway to have a "true" dual exhaust you'd need two headers, and our motors dont come that way.

also, im not 100% on this but i think the pistons on the B8 motor only have 8 valve reliefs so you wouldnt be able to do a mini-me swap. ive heard some people say you can and some who say you cant, someone can prob back that up either way on here

Nope, the pistons are 16v relief, go for it! You might have clearance issues with a dual exhaust since there isn't a nice tunnel carved in the body for one. If you really want dual exhaust buy a v6 accord

What he said. ^^
Honda 4 cylinder motors have absolutely no need for a dual exhaust setup. If you are talking Ridgelines or V6 accords, that is a different story.
If you are going to boost and make bigger numbers, just get a wider diameter single pipe exhaust.

I can confirm that you will lose power on a 4 cylinder engine with a dual true exhaust.
Ask yourself why are there such things as H pipes for V and boxer style engines?
