so ur wanting to have dual exit like the fc? u can put a muffler on each rotor, running two separate pipes all the way and over the axle. u'd have to use those small oval shaped mufflers standing up vertically side by side, exiting on the one side. it would be so loud, not to mention sound very tinny(think bees inside a tin can). brings back memory of a friend way back had BNA CAN as his license plate.

porting is what's done to the intake and exhaust ports to make them larger for making more power. there's basically 3 types of porting over stock: street port(sp), bridge port(bp), and peripheral port(pp). and then different variations of each. searching any of those terms will yield plenty of reading. and no worries about passing emissions here in the south. and i think anything that has to do with increasing power is for race use only and illegal for street use in cali. at least some of the stuff RB sells claim to be "not for street use in california." but ppl still do it.

A true dual exhaust can absolutely increase power on a stock ported engine. It's pretty hard not to increase power over the stock exhaust system. The "long primary" which is what the Racing Beat "street port" exhaust system is, gives a very nice power increase over stock and more than I had ever seen in any other exhaust system when I had a first gen. Yes you can do a true dual. You could use their system and then just substitute the rear muffler for a pair of them as that exhaust system collects on the muffler. The pipes themselves stay completely separate all the way to the muffler pipe itself.
Whether or not it is loud has everything to do with the mufflers used and little to do with the exhaust configuration. While configuration does play some role, most people use crap mufflers such as corksport, etc. If you are going to try a true dual exhaust, you absolutely positively do not under any circumstances want a round straight through mufflers. The sound will be unbearable and quite bad.
On your car it would be best to just stick to the long primary system rather than go true dual. As with any exhaust system there are compromises to each system and I found that the long primary had the fewest of them. It has a very nice very wide powerband. Must more than just a header would.
