dual exhaust on a 97 gt celica?, good or bad Options

[ROMANO]

Hey guys, Hope you all dont get to heated for this quetion, but I had a dual exhuast with no name muffler and tip installed into my 97 gt celica conv. My only question is, what is it actually doing for my car, is it gonna pose as a future problem. For my intentions were only to give my car more of a louder bark with out the bite if you know what I mean.Ill apply pictures to show you what I have done and how it looks. Oh another thing my car is an automatic if that helps you figure out what problems might occur in the future p.s it sounds really good to with a deep resonating hum to it.

you are wrong there shid bout it doubling the noise...it actually makes each side quieter, they may combine for the same overall noise level but it def does not make the car louder, ive heard a tt supra with dual exhaust and it sounds quieter then a friend's supra n/a with big single pipe, besides that its impossible to say that two exit points means twice volume..

Sorry, you're wrong.

It in no way makes it quieter, that goes against the laws of physics even. You're right, it has little to do with the volume of air (which is the same) but it has everything to do with the area the sound has to exit from the pipe and the effect that has on the resultant sound waves.

Try this, and see which one is louder:

Make two holes in the bottom of a coke can, put one side of headphones against the normal opening, and the coke can bottom against your ear.

Play music through the headphones. Use your finger to block one hole, and unblock it.

The dual is louder. Imagine that.
