Is it loud enough for you?
You could connect the two in the center like an "H" pipe.

It would be great idea but I believe the muffler has to be an overall length of less than 20 inches in order to make room to have the pipes rerouted the center.
what mufflers are you running now? The mufflers I posted have a body length of 14“ and the inlet and outlet pipes that add to the total length can always be trimmed, right up to within a fraction of an inch of the muffler if needed.

I came back from the shop today, and they told me the reason they did the 90 degree bend is because they didn't have room to a curve bent or else the exhaust tips would stick out by like 4 inches.

I also asked them why in the video someone posted from their shop that the other car's pipe was bent, and their explanation was that it was their first time doing the center mod, and that they didn't have room to weld the tip and pipe from the outside they welded it from the inside.
There are plenty of people running mandrel bends to center exhaust. i would take the car to a different exhaust shop and get a second opinion.

Yeah I need to look for another muffler shop in California. I cant think of any good ones right now, I probably need to look around and do some research.

I think its worth it if you want that center exit look of the sport. Just make sure you have a curve bend rather than a sharp angle like mines. It ran me about 250 for the custom piping.

@MrCivicHatch12, you can use these pics as reference for your piping like what they do in Thailand. Pics CTTO.

Well yall were right, went to the dealership today for the recall for fuel pump and asked the service advisor about the exhaust work that was done.

He said nothing detrimental other than decreased mpg and some loss in hp.

I might just look into another shop and see what they can do.
