Dual exhausts

[Guest]

I was just wondering what you guys think about the dual exhuasts such as the hks dual dragger and dual apexi n1?

are they louder than the single ones, how loud are they?

[PranK]

pipe size is no bigger, it just splits into 2 (i think).

i reckon they look hella sexy tho!!

[Guest]

are they louder?

I have no idea about the noise, brand cost, efficiency of design etc but I would really love to have a dual exhaust like this.

I have heard that they are more effecient, but i was thinking the dual tip exhausts. but that looks quite good but on a skyline it would lood dodgy unless you customize the right hand side of the bumper to fit the tip.

[Zer0]

yeh but a litle bit of custom work on the bumper and it would look awesome on a skyline! I have seen quite a few 300zx done like this and it looks great when done right.

Makes more sense on the 300zx though as there would be a seperate exhaust for each turbo that way.

[Guest]

I'm pretty sure though that the 300zx is stock like that.

louder and heavier, less backpressure so very slight potential power gain unless you run a very big HP engine.

Yeh it iss but i mean with good choice of aftermarket mufflers it looks really nice should have been more specific.

[Guest]

it definetly looks good, but the loundness would be major factor in getting one over a single tip.

I have seen a 33 with duel tips. They were smallish(not as big as the above picture, 2 or 2.5"), came out on the same side with a slight angle (Jap style). No adjustments were made to the rear bar, and it looked oh so cool.

If you have single exhaust pipe that splits into two tips, the extra weight would be minimal, no more than stock exhaust box.

[Guest]

come on people i need some advice in regards to the loudness compared the single tip super dragger

[adam 32]

well i personally think that looks pathetic

unless put on a car with dual exhaust as stock ie 300zx's or soarers it looks very dumb.

Loudness really has nothing to do with dual/single pipe, it has a lot to do with the type and size of muffler, where it is installed, and any extra resonators placed in the system. As I see it two smaller pipes with smaller diameter mufflers may give better ground clearance, but be heavier and more expensive though.

In practical terms it is always easiest to stick with whatever type of original system was on the car in the first place. Just copy it with a slightly larger diameter system. If the original system had a resonator, it was put there to stop droning or exhaust resonance at some particular speed. Copy the original system as exactly as you can, including all the original mounting points, just make it all a slightly larger diameter.

i'm referring to something that looks like this

[Guest nismogtsx]

What about this....

I have a mate with a R32 GTR with a setup like this and it sounds

almost perfect.....

[NIZ30]

i have seen that car parked at the same place you work. It is real nice, and i like the rims too.

[Guest nismogtsx]

How'd you know where i work?

Shit im found

Arrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah his GTR is sweet hey....

I can almost get him now....

He runs a 12.2 and im only 2 car lengths behind...

Cant wait for the new motor.....

[Piggaz]

The super dragger looks good....

but as some 1 said earlier if u put dual exhausts on a car which waznt meant for them then it loks dicky..

[Guest nismogtsx]

The GTR is not dual in the scence that you are talking about

its side by side dual exhausts not left and right...

Look above to my attachment thats what im talking about
