The y-pipe is a dandy and great, but has anyone done a true daul exhaust system yet? I know it would have to be custon, and seems simple, just double the tips,pipes, and cats. Man, it would sound deep with 2 canister tips.

 

People have taken the b-pipe and put a splitter there and run two pipes to two mufflers, but even that requires you bashing your spare wheel well in a little. If you did a true dual setup, where would all the piping attach to? You would have no ground clearance if you did it, it would cost a fortune, and wouldn't really produce that much more power. Not worth it, IMO.

 

I believe I can do it for 200 with 2 high flow cats, and canister tips. Ground clearance wouldn't change. . . Assuming the cats aren't ONTOP of each other.

 

...I spent alot of tme under there LOL.

 

yes it has been done before. Costs alot though

 

It doesn't really increase performance at all so its not really worth it. And BTW, how many times has the dual exhaust thread been locked so far?

 

Its a waste of time and money and will not sound good

 

All positive things, thank you.

 

hope you can buy inspection stickers. if not i dont suggest splitting it till at least after the cat. i dont dare, i get pulled over wayyyy to much and cops here will bust you for this. my 2 cents

 

Why don't you "do it for 200 with 2 high flow cats, and canister tips" then? Sorry for my brusqueness, but you're not the first person to come on here and claim you can build a dual exhaust / turbo kit / supercharger / custom body kit / CF hood / whatever for pennies on the dollar. I've yet to see one person actually deliver. Get the duals done, take tons of pictures and I'll tip my hat to you. But until then, my skepticism remains.

 

As soon as I get my transmission rebuilt, then the duals. eta 2 months.
You do have a point Mizeree.
Fastflyanasian I love in Atlanta, I can get away with anything, lol.

 

listen i had dual exhaust(check my cardomain)...its aight....no dramatic change though....2 be honest its just preference.

 

Dude, love the eyes

 

Any pics of the dual exhaust yet?

 

Dual exhaust would be a nice look, but that whole bashing the wheel well, no power, and such wouldn't be worth the time when you realize it wont work.

Spencediggy, props on the lights, they look real good.

 

I thought this post died a while ago. Anyway, I'm still thinking about hooking it up with a couple phony n1 canisters. And maybe not run any cats.

The only reason I want dauls is because myWW kit has 2 opening for dauls.

 

try a muffler off a 97 (?) grand am GT it has one and 2 outs. like this:

In +------+
.... |------| out with tip
out+------+
to other side

 

You dont have to bash the spare tire well in to get duals. If you really want to go through the trouble you can put the muffler next to the spare tire well and then move the other(stock location) muffler out towards the wheel so when you look at the car from the back the tips/mufflers are symmetrical.. but that doesnt help if the kit comes with the holes already cut in it (but if its a fiberglass kit couldnt you fill the holes and re cut them for your new set up?)

 

I could simply fill in one hole, but i have a deal with ww, and they want pics with the kit unmolested.

I'd like a true daul for the sound, but I might cheat and split the tail pipe.

Before I can do any of that I gotta finish the body work and get it painted. I just got set back in a bunch of rapairs, this may take a lil while. sigh..*

 

http://members.cardomain.com/maxininct Theres a link to my cardomain site. I havent updated it in a long time but theres some good shots of my duals. I have warpspeed ss y pipe goin to hi flow cat into duals from there. A little loud but not ricy. just the cat back custom duals costed 500$. Good luck with urs though. oh and theres no bashing of the wheel well to do it. =)

 

Nice car. Very un-rice. We need more of this!

 

Comments like this makes me afraid to post pics of my duals or car. j/k Jeff. ..

Just my opinion on the duals since I have them. I have duals that are split, not true duals. You do have to to bash in the wheel, which in turn makes your spare lay crooked in your trunk. to fix this just get some hard foam pieces and glue it to the bottom of you MDF trunk liner thus raising it and everything is even again. For me the trunk liner was raised about an inch.

It you want to run the same muffler sizes on both side then you would have to bash in more of your wheel well to accomodate a larger muffler on new side. A trick to this would be to run a longer/larger muffler on the stock side and a shorter/smaller one on the other side with the same looking tip. No one would notice the difference if your car is lowered and better yet with a kit.

My original setup on the car is freaking loud, inside and outside if you plan to run it with a free flowing cat and canisters. It doesn't help that I had 3" piping from the manifolds to the muffler. I had to add a 22" inch silencer/resonator to the system after a week of resonating headadche. With the silencer/resonator it now sounds really good, like a V8 muscle growl.

Recently I wanted the car to sound stock/quiet again for family trips so I put some stock mufflers on with a nice rectagular tip and added this to the exhaust system for those times when you like to hear the car sing.

Exhaust Cutout

 

thats the way i plan on doing it, one muffler with 2 outs and 1 in

then the problem is choosing a muffler.. theres also the grand prix gtp muffler, maybe 350z/g35? i heard a flowmaster 40 series on a 4th gen from a video posted awhile ago, and it sounded pretty good

 

i dont think its worth bashing in my spare tire

 

with some creative piping you can avoid banging the well

 

Well like i said, i have duals, not from the motor back, but as u can see from my cardomain site the left muffler is nowhere near the wheel well. if u have to bang up the wheel well ur doin somethin wrong, try goin up over the rear sway bar. =) thats what i did.

 

wow...yall bought this thread back,amazin'. i did the dual before on my white max(check my cardomain page) ..its wasn't even cuz of the spare wheel. i would of done it right, but at the time i just wanted to have it asap. would i do it again....if i had the ww body kit. peoples dont discourage the kat, do ur thang...peoples try 2 bash me on my angel eyes and that didn't stop me. don't listen 2 the negative n jus go wit ur heart(sounds like an after school special).

 

Not necessarily correct. You don't have a kit. If you read, he said he has a body kit (WW) and wants to accomodate the duals. You would have to bang in your wheel well to make the muffler on the other side fit correctly in the middle of the cutout.

On my stillen dual cutouts I had to do the same thing. There is no way around it unless you are going stock (no rear valence) and can move the mufflers out further.

And my piping does go over the sway bar.

 

use only 1 muffler

 

True, you could do one muffler and run pipiing for a matching tip on the other side. But it might look funny if you are stock since the muffler on one side is visible and the other isn't but with a kit that hides the mufflers anyways it might be a good alternative.

 

or to keep it from looking funny and not matching you can put a muffler up closer to the cat or replace the cat with a muffler and then run the exhaust pipe back from there. That way you will have 2 pipes sticking out that match.

 

don't have a muffler at either end
Edit: what he said /|\ ^^^^

 

Hmmmm... new idea. High flow cat, and a 2004 350z muffler. AY?

 

Now only to find a muffler under $700.00, bang that idea.

 

Ah ha. My fault i didnt realize he was lookin to get em into the cut-outs. Then yea u may run into a prolbem that im not aware of. I do have kit, stillen, but i didnt do rear valance.
