rtbiscuit Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 is that not a contradiction in terms? a y pipe connects 2 pipes into 1. a true dual keeps both pipes separate. Quote
maz77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 your right in away but its just to indicate the wider bore y pipes used with the true dual systems some y pipes are actually true dual but still called y pipes like the injen's for example Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 i'm confussed are you looking for 2 into 1 but bigger bore or 2 in to 2 for a true "true dual" sorry if it s silly questions, its late and my brain don't work. Quote
maz77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 sorry if it s silly questions, its late and my brain don't work. 2 to 2 Quote
Chilli Red Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Maz We have these http://www.z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuse ... rentCat=30 Sarah Quote
Chris`I Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Maz, I think you need to let they traders know which exhaust it will be used with Quote
andlid Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 new or used in very good condition Look at the true dual from Borla and the setup a group buy Quote
maz77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Maz, I think you need to let they traders know which exhaust it will be used with it will be a custom joby chris Quote
maz77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Hi MazWe have these http://www.z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuse ... rentCat=30 Sarah thanks sara, I am after a 2 to 2 Y-pipe though. Quote
maz77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 an X-pipe then look at the Y-pipe in this injen exhaust http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Image:In ... xhaust.jpg Quote
Ian Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 What are you trying to achieve? If the exhaust is gonna be a custom job then just get them to fab a 2-2 piece for you Quote
Chris`I Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 What are you trying to achieve? If the exhaust is gonna be a custom job then just get them to fab a 2-2 piece for you Thats what I'd do. Same diameter all the way then Quote

Same diameter all the way then I wouldn't even bother the y piece tbh. I'd just run 2 pipes from the cats I thought there was something to be had from the cross flow of combining both sides. Cant remember where I read it mind Quote
maz77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 I wouldn't even bother the y piece tbh. I'd just run 2 pipes from the cats that would delete the flexi's making it more prone to cracks Quote

IanS16 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I would have thought adding an engine damper would eliminate the need for flexipiping Quote
maz77 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 to put things into prespective guys. the idea was to utilise the end pipes of the K1 exhaust. plan: change y-pipe. get custom made twin middle pipe. I wasn't planning on getting a full custom exhaust. in the picture below you will see the single middle pipe the K1 uses. it looked easy enough for me (apart from clearing the diff issues) to change that to 2 parallel pipe. add to it a 2 to 2 y-pipe and I would have a true dual the question is, would that loose me some top end torque in NA form or not?
