Okay here's the question.. I rememeber a while back ago we were talking about the cuda kit for the RD2 and one of the things people didn't like was the fact of dual exhaust setup.

One of the turn off's from dual exhaust was that there was a loss in power correct? Due to less back pressure? Okay heres the question ... If the GK with the 4 cyl engine has dual exhaust does it mean it's loosing power? Or is there something i'm missing here...?

Meah this could be super noob ... if soo i open the firing range ... lol.gif

 

just use smaller piping, or just boost so you dont want back pressure smile.gif

 

Go look underneath one,... it's a SHITTY Setup
It's so restrictive

 

Dweet = Obsessed with boost ... lol.gif
I was just wondering all .. If you ripped out what a gk has and put in a single catback i wonder if you would have more power?

 

you'd be obsessed with boost if you had it smile.gif
i was obsessed with nitrous till i found boost

as far as your question goes, its hard to say. try it and dyno it and let us know smile.gif

I was just wondering all .. If you ripped out what a gk has and put in a single catback i wonder if you would have more power?</div> maybe...but a single outlet would look better...and either way just boost the 2.0L 4 and you wouldn't even want backpressure...so just get a cut-out, keep the stock exhaust run 3.0inch downpipe...and sound rediulously loud...but still have stock looking exhaust...nobody would think i twas your car making that rediculous sound.

 

wouldn't be that loud with a turbo... remember a turbo presents a huge exhause restriction and cuts down the noise alot. my elantra is really quiet although it has a 2.5" turboback exhaust. And its just mild steel piping with a Apex'i N1 muffler on the end

 

You could probably run duals if you used smaller piping from the rear Y back.. if you are running 2 1/2 inch exhaust.. maybe dropping to 2 inch from the y back would not kill your exhaust flow too much...

 

From what I've heard from others that have this setup, the drop in power isn't even noticable........You would probably notice more of a drop when you turn on your A/C!

 

Uhm, I dunno mang, I've heard of 2 folks doing it on a Tib, one went back to single because they lost SO much on the low end, not to mention they couldn't idle. The other posted like 4 times and that was it.
