Was wondering about the single exit exhaust on the 350z's now i hear its much louder and u get more power gains thru it..is this true? i was looking at the Greddy ti-c single exit and nismo duel which would make more noise and give more power gains if any1 can answer it

thx people!

Single looks better IMO with a bumper tuck

power gaines will be about the same

loudness depends on muffler

Exhausts will not give you much HP without intake upgrade and vice versa. The whole concept of getting I/E mods is to let your car breathe better. If all you want is noise, you're better off punching holes on your muffler or taking off your intake box like one of our mentally challenged members in here.

As far as single vs. dual, my opinion is that it's mostly personal preference. Most reputable aftermarket exhausts out there offer more or less the same hp gains. These gains are based on how the pipes is constructed (bends, angles, configuration, material) and it's diameter and overall length, basically how much air (exhaust gases) is moved out of, or kept in (back pressure) your system.

When you shop for an exhaust, you get what you pay for. The reason behind this is the painstaking process of research and development that go into these systems. Not to mention the material used and the workmanship involved. You'll see that a lot of the knock off exhaust out there will be made out of cheaper materials and inferior quality (look at the welds). To sum it up--an exhaust that might sound loud not necessarily good, offer less if any hp gains, and might not last you to the next season.

Good Luck!

OP, read up on what xj said. Very wise words in there.The number of tips is personal preference. And as for noise, as stated in post #2, it only gets you more attention.....usually from the wrong people

You will get minimal gains with an exhuast unless you have some kind of forced induction.IMO the car came with a dual exhaust so leave it that way.I personally have th greddy evo2 dual exhaust on mine and love it. The Evo T is more designed to work with forced induction.

is there a significant amount of power loss if you were to use a greddy EVO-TT on a NA car? im considering getting the HK high power instead.

That "stainless" exhaust also just happens to be a NISMO. It might just have a little to do with in its performance.
