Single Exhaust Altima Coupe?

[Coupes4Life]

Well I have Greddy Ti-C exhaust on my 2.5 and I was thinking about taking one of the pipes off and welding it shut to make it a single exhaust because I heard its better to have single than duel on a 4cyl what do u guys think?

i hope you are planning to weld it at the y, or have it professionally done.

Hmm i wonder if their is any merit to this, and what the possible gains are?why did they make our cars and most cars with dual exhaust.

I wouldn't expect much difference in power gains. You can expect it being lighter and louder.

8 pounds lighter? and it would sound like a civic hatchback with a fart can.

hahaha possibly this.

Weight is unknown. Personally I like the single exhaust outlet on the g's and z's only if they roll their rear bumper. It sounds awesome on a VQ motor.

just take off the left side and keep it open haha. what do you mean roll their rear bumper??

Yea it was just an idea dont know if I would do it or not.

With the V's you have two exhaust sources so they use a downstream H junction or keep the pipes completely separate to minimize turbulence near the downpipes. Its purely for looks on the I4. 1. Dual exhaust is usually associated with sports cars and higher-end models in the consumer's mind. 2. The symmetry is aesthetically pleasing.

First off its not a dual exhaust. there is only one pipe from the cat. its a single-in, dual-out and like mrodrig2 said its for looks. There wouldnt be a gain from doing this.

2. The symmetry is aesthetically pleasing.

i firmly believe that if the exhaust tip is shown in any way shape or form it NEEDS to be dual or it looks like s*** no matter what car.

from what ive herd n seen single exhaust would be great for turbo..everytime i see a single exhaust 350z i always look for the intercooler and never fails
