Dual Exhausts...what does it do?

**gian7675** · 11-10-2011, 11:01 PM

Just wondering aside from looking bad-ass and for aesthetic purposes, what does a dual exhaust system do? What does it improve?

What should you have in your car so that putting in a dual exhaust system would have a purpose other than being a decoration.

Thanks!

Car is not mine...wish it was mine though...including the Dual Exhausts and the graphics. Car is here in the PI in Manila.

Looks like one of qcustom's bumpers...

ANYWAY...from what I've seen underneath these 8G's, there is no space to run a true dual exhaust, so for this chassis' case, it's purely for looks. With exhaust, the less amount of bends, the better. It's all about efficiently letting the exhaust itself flow out as quick as possible. From what I've seen, running a "dual outlet" exhaust on an 8G would just hinder exhaust flow. Does that mean you shouldn't do it? No.

But there is no real performance value to a dual outlet exhaust setup, which is different from a true dual exhaust, if it's the V6 engines.

Yo! Thanks for the reply skyforger!

At least that's one add-on that I'll scratch off from my list...for now. At least I can concentrate on the graphics and possibly the body kit first LOL!

Now that you mentioned it...it does look like the kind qcustoms makes in his shop =)

Reelax has a custom dual exhaust, not the way Skyforger is saying, but still. Myself, I would just add a 2nd muffler and not connect it, I mean, it's for looks, not performance anyhow.

Hey! REELAX's ride looks like mine...but his is much better!

Thanks for the photos

Holy M@ther of G@d....

Stares at the screen, grabs the cp and dials...

"Yo Bro Jek, you still have that extra JASMA MUFF:ER FGK you have for sale...."

Super like!

Yo bro BGR, I'll grab the pic ok? My 8g looks like it's going to shoot Cannon ballas at whoever dares to tailgate me or come closes than a car's length LOL!

Just looks, u cant get any performance improvments because there is no space to make another straight exhuast line

**NCamiolo** · 11-11-2011, 05:27 AM

As stated before space is definitely limited. And if you decide to go this route don't be cheap like me and hold off on tips lol, still need to find some I like

Hi bro NCamiolo!

Hmmm...so it's only the tire well that's blocking the pipes for it to go straight for a faster exit??

I wonder where it's possible to place the spare tire with the tire well removed...in the trunk itself?

I don't carry groceries or packages in my trunk anyway.

Would removing the tire well solve the problem?

I wouldn't hack away that area, the car has a uni-body frame, so technically you'd be comprimising it's structural integrity doing that, and you'd need to find a way to reinforce the back of the frame another way. Way too much work for a dual exhaust setup solely for just looks.

Ouch. Would never compromise structural integrity for looks. Thanks for the info.

I like it too

This was a winner during car shows during it's hay day.

This 8g was for sale for a while and got sold for not more than $8,080.00.

The new owner made it more wicked. Actually it's more sicker now...they did a wide body look on it.

Very wide

Old picture when the 8g entered the shop.

This 8g has an EVO X front look by the way.

The hole for the 2nd exhaust looks original 100%, is it real ?!

Nah it's not...but it's really realistic isn't it?

He probably copy/cut pasted the real side and then mirror imaged it on the other side

**The Vee** · 11-11-2011, 12:20 PM

Yep you gotta do it as per the photoshop.
Here's mine. As said by others it's just the look I was after. When it's cold it does look good with the condensation coming out of both pipes.
Not the best pic to show the exhausts, but you get the idea.
