Dual exhaust [Merged 7-9]

[slowlaserRS]

Yea it would hurt you in performance. Unless you only wont looks.

 

[Nappy94]

You won't get much of a performance gain and your car will be loud as hell. Loud car + no performance= bad combination

 

[cucumber]

Possible? yes.

Pointless? Yes.

 

[jdmawd]

In regards to backpressure, I have discussed this in another thread. Backpressure is bad, even on n/a cars. It is the loss of scavenging effect from too large of an exhaust that hurts performance.

In regards to the dual exhaust, it is pointless, other then aesthetic.

I have a 95 eclipse gst and i am thinking of doing a dual exhaust setup, are there any companies that make this, or is it all custom???

 

[V8SHME8]

You will need an exhaust shop to do that for you. It should not cost that much more than getting a regular exhaust, you will just need to buy two mufflers. I would recommend just running a regular setup however.

 

[Idiot Stick]

agreed. not a fan of the dual setup.

 

[Devicex]

It's a looks only kinda deal, as it wont benifit you anymore then a single 3inch setup.

You could have one side be the exhaust from the turbo and the other for the wastegate... that could be interesting.

 

[Jaybone]

ive seen it... it looks bad imo.. it was really low to the ground and sounded horrable...

my friend tom did this on his 90 tsi. he works at an exhaust shop. looks cool, has no kind of performance gain, but that doesn't matter when you are driving an 11 second dual exhaust talon.

i just got another eclipse its 97gst with a 1st gen head and a dual exhaust should i keep the dual exhaust or not

 

[Hobbes =^.^=]

Do you mean dual tip exhaust?

 

[kraniun]

not a dual tip but a actual dual exhaust

 

[RipperXX]

BTW i have a quick question since were on this subject the 1G i am buying has a duel muffler on it.. and it's on the left side.. is this stock or is it just me that this looks too wrong to be stock?

 

[focusedrage]

kranium, actual dual exahust on a turbo car... would imply twin turbo, casue there is really no difference between having two tips, and the pipes spliting after the down pipe

 

[cfusionpm]

do they even make this exhaust for eclipses? i would love to have the power and sound of an N1 without the attention-grabbing look of a single big tip. i realy think the dual looks nicer and it has less of a "look at my exhaust officer, give me a ticket" look to it; almost stock.

 

[XTurboSpYderX]

huh?

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

u mean.. dual-tip? from the subject i thought u mean dual twin apex n1 exhausts.. now that would be over-kill.. 1 apex n1 style exhaust is good enough.. but as far as dual tip.. havnt seen those.. but u can always just get a universal tip to weld on.?

[blaster1812]

Don't think so

 

[cfusionpm]

ah damn, i just saw the application guide and its only for rx7s and 240sxs.... oh well....

Take a drive out to Lakeside and visit Ryan at RnR Racing. He could probably hook you up some kind of dual-tip muffler on one of his exhaust systems.
