I just swapped my muffler tonight for a cleaner one and I checked the shop
manual. The car in the manual has an exhaust line coming from each side of
the engine, almost in a "Y" configuration.
Was this something not implimented until the 1972 models? I ask because my
exhaust does not have the duel pipe system shown in chapter 15 of the shop
manual.
Dual exhaust in 72?
Re: Dual exhaust in 72?
My N600 Sedan parts book shows essentially three different
configurations based on the heat exchanger. (This could all be
different on the Coupe I don't have a book for that)
Serial numbers up to 1018285 had the "Y" configuration. No heat
exchanger shown for that set up.
Serial numbers 1019323 to 1033951 show a heat exchanger and a single
pipe from there to the back of the car.
Serial numbers from 1033852 show a different heat exchanger setup but
still with only a single pipe out the back of the car.
There are two different part numbers for the muffler and for the tail
pipe stay, one for serial numbers to 1028100 and the other from 1028101
on. The book shows the two styles of stays but I'm not sure what the
difference in the muffler is, nothing is shown for that.

Re: Dual exhaust in 72?
Not really, it was the first version of the Honda 600 before it came to the
USA. Remember, the first Honda 600 for the USA had chassis number N600
1013055. So yes there were earlier Honda 600's about 13054 of them. And all
of these were sold outside of the USA. And most didn't stay in Japan. The
dual exhaust system your looking at came with an angle port head, larger
carb and they came on the Hawaiian cars which ended with chassis number N600
1018285. And some of these cars were delivered to England, Australia and
Europe (I have chassis numbers to) All of these cars had the 42 to 45 hp
engines in them. All the cars sent to CONUS (Continental USA) have the
detuned version at 36 hp. That was the secret to the numbering system Honda
had, all the Sedan Chassis started with the same number, but the engine
numbers told how many came into each country as every country USA included,
had their own unique EPA issues or the lack of.
So, that was the short version of the "Y" exhaust. The long version goes
into much more detail.

Hi John;
Your book doesn't have the optional heat exchanger for the "Y" exhaust. If you send me your e-mail address I will send you pages from the other parts manual.
