dual exhaust, not n1 dual

[Aspec0002]

i was just wondering if anyone has put dual exhuast on their car, im not talking about the apexi dual n1 but like dual as in one tip on the left side of the car and another on the opposing side. like on the new tiburons or i think the 350z, something like that. i was thinking about doing it with 2 tanabe racing medallions both angled up and out that would look sick, or even apexi n1 90mm tips that would be cool, just wondering your thoughts and if anyone has any pictures that would be great.

for 4 bangers I dont see the need or the looks.

hey if you have a civic you could always have fake dual exhaust...

[y3llows14]

You saw that dual sticked on exhaust too? That shiet was funny as hell. I went with my friend to test drive the new SI, and we saw this new Civic coupe that had oem kit and dual exhaust, then I asked him if that was an aftermarket exhaust or some shiet. He showed me it was just the tip, meaning one piping for the exhaust and the other tip just hanged from the bumper. I just started laughing when the dealer told me that. Man, ricers don't need the hard work to get rice no more, just go to the dealer.

IMO it would make the car look really ugly. ESPECIALLY if you have dual exhaust angled up....I saw that on an Integra, hideous, and hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.

If you're going to the Honda look...then go for it.

it is possible but i would at least notch your bumper on the passenger sid so it doesnt look miss matched:ylsuper

Keep in mind that the 240 gas tank is on the rear right side.

Even if a split dual exhaust would be usefull... the gas tank presents a BIG problem. You would have to split the exhaust pipe after the rear diff, then route one out around the gas tank.... then have three 90 degree bends to get the proper placement to fit a muffler in there. Or remove the tank... and put a fuel cell in your trunk.

i agree that is a big problem and it probably wouldnt be very beneficial in terms of power, but you never know until u try:ylsuper

[pharcyd]

you could jun a single in and dual out muffler in the middle of the car somwhere (if there is room?)and then just run tailpipes out the rear but the biggest youl probably be able to find is 3 inches which isnt to bad unless all you care about is big tipes hangin out the back!!!:ylsuper

That would probably be a little hurtful on the engine...ever heard of valve over lap? It's a little complicated, and it only happens on high revving engines. Imagine the exhaust coming out of your car, not in one continuous stream, but in short bursts... The bursts(or pulses) vary in size, depending on the size of the engine or if it has been forced induced(is that a word). Anyway, the size of the exhaust system all depends on the size of the pulses. For example, you shouldn't put a three in. exhaust on a NA four banger. What happens is when the diameter of the pulses are smaller than the diameter of the piping, then the pulses don't exit the exhaust system properly, almost like they're bouncing back and forth inside the pipes. Now what happens when valve overlap occurs is the intake and the exhaust valves are open at the same time. The intake valve is just beginning to open and the exaust valve is about to close. Under normal circumstances the pulse that leaves the combustion chamber is almost sucked out by the pulse in front of it, because a vacuum has occured from the diameter of the piping being smaller than the diameter of the pulse. Now this only occurs at high rpms, and if the pulses aren't leaving the exaust system completely because they're"bouncing" back and forth, then when valve overlap occurs, then the exhaust pulses can be partially sucked into the combustion chamber. This'll cause a loss of rpms and even slight damage. The same thing can happen if you put dual exhaust on a four banger. You'd get two cylinders emptying into one 2 in. exhaust pipe. Now I'm sure that if you put 1 in diamter piping onto each side of the engine, then that could happen, but you would have to find a custom shop that is willing to bend some pipes for you...that would be a little expensive, and a little overkill

Whew...I'm outta breath

i was just talking the tailpipes not the actual piping to the muffler(if that makes any difference?)

For the love of nissan please don't! You are not going to gain any power, probably add 50lbs of weight, all for what? Looks? It will probably sound like shiet since the pipes are coming from a 4 banger, and IMO will look like shiet! Its your car, but one guy did that to his Cavalier at my work, it looks and sounds like shiet!

Look at that link in my sig, I have a dual DTM Bruellen muffler which sounds nice. Anything more would be just plain rice, not fried. Its your car, do as you please, but you asked for our opinions.

drive safely

okay here's the prob:1. gastank will be in the way2. your adding useless weight3. your adding more bends in the exhaust...lost power4. the cars you mention with dual exhaust are V-6's(they have reason to have it)5. when it's cold people will see more steam coming from one of your tips than the other (it'll look wack)6. people will call you a ricer7. people like me, will just feel sad.8. if you really want it, it would probably be more fuctional just super-glueing a tip there (atleast then you won't be adding weight and bends in the exhaust, it still looks the way you want it and it won't be robbing power) now if your thinking that sounds lame, one word, exactly.

[I H8 UR DSM]

id just say take it off your civic, and hot glue it onto the 240.
