Going Dual

Postby 99V6solaraSE » Wed Sep 22, 2004 7:42 am

actually ive noticed a difference in performance, ive heard it many times " your going to lose power" but i proved it wrong, i actaully felt the gain on the take off.


its probably just all in your head... im sure id feel the same way... until its actually proven, i think you lose power. Which why im hesistating to get it it.

what are the possible circumstances where dual exhaust actually increases your performance and benefits you?

i had them reduce each pipe to 2" instead of 2.25 i believe. and the split is rite after the gas tank so not too many bents are in the extension pipes, it really gains power, i can feel the difference

if you get that twin turbo system or a turbo system or high psi on the supercharger . . . in other words, if you mod your engine extensively . . . like big time . . . then it'll more than likely show some gains. too big of piping can definitely take away some HP if your engine isn't meant for it.

they're not real, i got the y-pipe after the gas tank, and i second that big piping will result in loss of power not gain. :drinking:

y pipe give no gains. Only true duals will, and as stated before, only noticeable feel with a boosted engine of some type. Thats all there is to it. Duals such as mine and Greensolara are purely show.
