I think it looks like shit. the car has 2 cutouts for mufflers.

Also, try using the search button. there are a few threads on it.

i tried the search button lol i didnt notice anything but the tls nor the tl is a true dual its a 3-1-2 with a y pipe and like i said im lookn for some power along with sound and if im not mistaken if u have a straight single exhaust u get more flow and less chance of an exhaust leak and there fore make more power correct

fsttyms1

true dual or not the car still has 2 cut outs on the rear bumper for 2 mufflers and it looks funny with just 1 muffler.

You can get just as much flow out of a system like we have as opposed to a single. We arent some big FI motor. I made a ton of upper end power with the twin pipe from the cat setup i have. It will flow much more than a single. Also remember you go to big you hurt performance.

Single exhaust looks cheap.

^Agree, i think that the dual exhaust setup is optimal for our cars. Any sort of deviation from that, whether its quad tip or single, just does not look right.

yep. i'm keeping mine the way it is, but i'll see if i can get my friend to post some sound clips with his single

fsttyms1

You can get the same sound from single or dual, it all depends on what you use for the mufflers etc..

yeah i know, he's got one that looks like a fart can, kind of angled up too i think?



those are my old wheels by the way haha

bigjuice61

i had a single on my 99 . i had the comptech headers and 2 n 3/4 all the way back to an apexi ni sounded amazing especially with the nitrous on and it saved me over 20 pounds . i say go for it but make sure it comes out on the right .shorter pipe route and give it that little bit of angla ,like an evo or supra .and pay for quality piping no crush piping pls !!!

m1k3y3.2tl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryF70Vygxak i did it but its mostly because I am super smart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLZ2xy91WQE

its better for your engine providing the best mixing of exahust gasses, and back pressure to each cylinder, plus the weight savings factor its an all around performance win, a y pipe that can be seen from under your bumper is gay anyway

^sounds good^

travs 2002 tl type s

i mean i have almost a full exhaust including a xlr8 2.5" cat and a apexi cat back wut im thinking about doing is cutting off half of the y pipe and patching it with sheet metal and welding it my car is currently off the road soo i think im ganna be doing more to it then that while i can

fsttyms1

^ I wouldnt. Leave it as is. You wont gain any thing doing what you are talking about.

When i was 17 i did a single exhuast on my CLS i post a vid cause a tls and cls has the same motor

joseph.bruegge

i have a single exhaust on my 2000, all i did was remove the stock exhaust up to the cat, put a Magnaflow muffler and custom pipes to a single tip out the end.

Alexander_Shred

bro I'm with you I'm putting a single exhaust on my tl on tuesday ill let u kno how it goes sound n look

yeedatoy

I asked the same thing. Single exhaust should be better for performance, and if you run a OEM lip you cant see exhaust cut outs so it wont matter. The more exhaust velocity with the least amount of back pressure is what you want, and this 2.5 inch dual exhaust crap is getting old. 2.25 cat, and matching single exhaust should yield best overall performance until someone shows me proof otherwise. Why do you think so many G35/350Z guys switch to single? Acura used dual to quiet down the car, plain and simple....same reason a 4cyl TSX uses dual. Do you really think a k24 needs that crap? Blah. Leave 2.5 for a dual cam motor that revs to 8200 and relays fully on top end HP like a B18c. Angle that shit and it will look sick.

yeedatoy

On the flip side..I would wait until I were fairly highly modded to do a single exhaust. If you're loud as hell and mostly stock....not so cool.

sounds cool but i wouldn't do it ;|

This thread tickles my fancy, I know I've seen people post how one exhaust on the 2g looks ugly (which I agree with).
The part that you can get gains through one pipe is very interesting and I'm interested in seeing some dyno results.
