Duel or not?

[Patch]

What's peoples thoughts on running true duel exhausts on N/A zeds?

[evilscorp]

Got a custom one at the moment = great torque but about to buy a new one which is less likely to bend my rods when I go S/C still staying true dual as it sounds

[Patch]

I'm the verge of buying a true duel exhaust,but had a pm from somebody saying that they only benefit on F/I zeds.

The thing that swayed me is american designs on their V6/8 engines and most use true dual of some sort (x/h-pipe or no cross over) no offence to the jap die hard fans (myself included) but they have more experience of straight or inline engines = single pipe back.

Depends on what you want top end hp = free flowing with a small back pressure or if you want mid range torque add a bit more back pressure = my problem at the moment (too many tight bends near the rear).

A TD exhaust is perfectly fine on a NA Zed.

 

If you went TT then it would be practicaly a neccesity which is where the advice you previously got is based.

 

They won't give you any power gains on a non tuned car.....but no exhaust would.

a true dual with no join between them is ok, but if you get one with an H or X pipe in it then it will be alot better. this allows both banks of the engine to scavenge exhaust gases and balance the engine. allows for a smoother run and should allow more gain. x and H pipes on V8's H pipes have a nicer note to them but X pipe allows for better gains. (or so i've been told)

 

on an NA v6 like the zed i'd invest in either a custom built system, or a decent brand exhaust, the invidias are very good.

I have the HKS full dual system with Berks hfc's sounds to me

Not tuned yet so no gains

Invidia exhausts in stock, happy to price match any UK suppliers.

 

Send me a PM if I can help.

Got a custom one at the moment = great torque but about to buy a new one which is less likely to bend my rods when I go S/C still staying true dual as it sounds

how is an exaust going to bend your rods unless you have a rediculose amount of back pressure i dont understand?

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

Two pipes compared to one pipe = better air flow.

 

It's all about the air flow Manufacturers releasing new exhausts generally all do duals now, having said that the differences on an N/A car are negligible anyway.

 

Price/exclusivity/sound are the usual factors with most customers.

 

I was the first supplier to sell the Invidia Gemini systems in the UK and sold dozens without issue so as biscuit says they are pretty good , I won't be beaten on price so if I can help drop me a pm. Plenty of others to choose from on the website below to Forum discounts on most systems

you answered your question, I think my back presure is too much as I have more torque than hp so I dont want to take the risk of my 400hp aim producing 400+ torque=bent rods

Give your rods 500tq and disconnect your exhaust you will still get bent rods.
