Dual Exhaust-Possible? Options

[madmods]

I would like to use a dual exhaust or a single one coming out of the middle to clean up the looks to my rear. Has any one done it? Did they have to cut into the
spare tire holder?

mad mods i got it

and i'll put some pics up of how



with mine
i just hammered the side of my spare tire well a little bit to give me some extra clearance.....this way i get perfectly even flow....

by doing what super said you will have HORRIBLE gas flow on your car and not to mention a reasonably worthless system....exhaust gas goes out the easiest path meaning shortest....with the way super said it will 90% go out the right side and 10% out the left side giving a really poor performing system, bad sound and when its cold you'll look really really goofy.....

by splitting B4 the back support back as in my system with a Y pipe..you can make the both sides of equal length giving even and better flow as well as better sound

That's not true, it doesn't matter which side the actual exhaust flow comes out, in fact the best performance would be if it all came out one side instead of having to split the flow. It loses velocity when it hits the fork in your exhaust. However, it WOULD result in worse flow if the piping was too small for that one side to flow enough volume, but that probably won't be a problem in this case.

The big question is, why do you want to add weight to the car when the dual exhaust won't flow any more than a single exhaust? Dual exhaust is only appropriate for cars with two exhaust manifolds, like a V6 or V8. Granted, there's plenty of dual exhaust I4's, but it's just a waste of weight (my SRT has a dual exhaust stock).

Single exhaust is better for your performance, as long as your piping diameter is large enough. I suggest doing a single exhaust with a center exit, maybe dual-tip, right in the middle of your bumper (make a cutout).
