Dual tip exhaust?, look at the pics for an example Options

[97sccelica]

hey guys, i have a catback exhaust from dolcek racing but i havent put it on yet. up until now, i have been running turbo'ed with the stock exhaust setup and its really about time that i got off my ass and finished it up.

i really like the look of this exhaust setup





for those of you that are not familiar with the DR catback, it is a magnaflow muffler that bolts to the cat and dumps down to the ground a little infront of the rear suspension.

i put it on once, and i liked the sound but i got REALLY used to only hearing the turbo on my car and i like it that way.

so i figured if i piped it out the back it would get quiter and seeing those pics made me want a dual tip setup.

i know it wont do much for performance when compaired to a one tip setup, but i think the look along is worth the extra money it will cost to have it done.

i love that dual-exhaust setup.....2 sweet and does not look rice

[idriveatruckWTF]

looks mad wicked

[Aus]

not my cup of tea

i would rather have one larger one, slighty angled outwards



..............oh i already do, so im probably biased

I still haven't figured out why people don't like the dual setup its just pure pimp, I think u should go for it.

I would love to have it like that but I don't understand how he did it. Have you looked under your car? There just doesn't seem like enough room.

looks sweet

I'm not a fan of dual exhaust. It has too many bends as it is.

I preffer one exhaust and a straight through pipe.


But that's just me. Everyone has different tastes.

That is awesome.

Thats phat ....... make sure you get two mufflers. Not that crappy one muffler and two tail pipes. Man I hate that

I voted no.. This is just personal opinion obviously but I don't think it's a good idea.

Looks wise:
The back of our cars stock has no overlap so I'd only go for them if you have a lip kit on.

Performance wise:
I think twins on small engines almost can be classified as rice. I mean a REAL double system is designed for big engines where you have 2 headers and twin piping / cat / resonator / mufflers all the way to the back. I guess it is OK to do if you make sure everything is symmetrical - ie. split the main pipe then run two equal lengths to two of the same muffler but once you start running extra pipes that are longer than the main system etc you start getting an unbalanced system! Like one side will flow more air therefor one side will sound louder etc.


I probably making too big a deal about it but I get pissed off seeing all the civics / crx's / daihatsu's around here that have massive dual mufflers poking out the back with only 100 hp behind them

I voted no for similar reason to kamixZR. I see too many civics and that dualed and it just doesn't seem natural for the 4 banger, its more an 8 thing to do. I especially see way too many dualed out V6 camaros and mustangs and that just sounds like crap. Anyways, I think 4 cylinder cars should stick to the single exit exaust, but that's just my opinion.

I had dual exhaust on my car at one point, and I didn't have to cut into the spare tire well or anything. I got sick of it after a little while and personally thought that it was kind of ricey, so I switched over to a single muffler setup, and I like that a whole lot more than what I used to have. The looks, sound, and performance are much better in my opinion.

About the looks though, it's really a matter of opinion. I really like my current exhaust setup a lot more, but a lot of my friends really liked the dual exhaust setup more. You can look at the pics below and decide for yourselves though.
