i hear you can put dual exhaust on our cars is that true. if so id like to see pics if anyone has it from under the car

 

not true duals, but an axel back y, yes.

 

a 4 cylinder car can NOT have a dual exhaust... you can have 2 exhaust pipes running out the back for "show" though... it won't help performance, and adds extra weight... you'll have to have something custom made, and then you'll have to cut a hole in your bumper to fit it.

 

aren't s2000's dual exhaust?

 

It is not a true dual exhaust system just dual tips, it reduces torque, adds more weight, causes you to cut your bumper, and is just plain stupid.

 

ah so just a y exhaust?

 

if they are it's just for looks... a dual exhaust would come from 2 seperate banks of cylindars... a 4 cylinder car only has 1...

 

and here is the how-to for making the cut in your bumper:

this is there exaust... and its after the back axel.. i was told by a honda guy.. the reason for the dual exaust is for the needed back pressure... the y that is there causes more back pressure and for some reason that particular engine performs better that way...." it is just what i was told.."

Wish I had a dual exhaust just for looks. The symmetry makes it look nicer.

 

well there is the first problem, your listening to a honda guy. adding any exhaust flow reduces back pressure. thats why you run into problems when going with an exhaust thats too big for your car, you reduce back pressure too much. think about it, does it make sense that by adding more room for exhaust to flow you would reduce it?? your honda buddy has it backwards. and like everyone is telling you, its pointless other than looks. its only going to make your car sound obnoxious. just my opinion

 

wut about the SRT-4

 

well a 4 banger can not have true duals so dodge put it there for show. thats the only purpose. it wont hurt your car, it just doesnt do anything good for it. a good single exhaust is just as good as a fake dual setup. like its been said it just adds weight. ya gotta be careful too because i am pretty sure even a fake dual setup like the srt4 has will reduce back pressure a little so its possible you could reduce it too much

 

but the srt4 sounds pretty good

 

it's the turbocharged engine, and no muffler and the design of the pipes that make it sound like that... doesn't really have anything to do with the 2 exhaust tips.

 

i am willing to bet it would sound the same with one pipe. its all for looks bro, if you like it go for it by all means. i am just saying you dont need to it will do nothing for your car but increase the weight by a little. not givin you hell here

 

Has anyone thought about using the axle back from the Solstice GXP?

 

well if ur supercharged u want some back pressure and if ur turbo charged you want little to no back pressure.. that part of the reason for the srt-4 exaust being the way it is

 

Did that guy ever post up a video? That would solve this debate really quick. Maybe you could pm him 2fast4you

 

i have a y behind the axle can try to get pics tomorrow

 

that would be awesome id like to see that

 

sry guys i got home too late, i was moving my sis outta her dorm, but i can get one in the morning or let me see if the video i took awhile ago loads

 

get the underside please

 

No, S2K's don't have dual exhausts. They have dual outlets. Single pipe from the header and downpipe, leading to two exits.

If you're going for sound, then do this. If for performance, don't. I think 'Psykosteve' (think I spelled his name wrong) has dual exhaust otlets, he says it crackles like an SRT-4.

I thought it was vise versa.

 

I put dual magnaflow mufflers on my car.It sounds nothing like an srt-4 though.I dont really care for the crackling noises the srt's make.Heres the link to the pictures.https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/pic-my-dual-exhaust-56850/
