Default dual exhaust for tc?

hey guys, well i plan to go with the street concept M power rear bumper, i will most likely make the middle piece carbon, and i was wondering what your opinions on this exhaust were? it is a single muffler dual tip exhaust that is made for the SRT-4 and i think that if would fit perfect, but i am not sure on the dimensions of the rear bumper, or on the exhaust, but anyways i will just be buying the muffler...so tell me what you think:

this is exactly what i was thinking about doing. please help others! i tried looking on ebay for the mufflers that insert in the middle on one side, and outlets on both sides, that way i still am only running single exaust, not dual, but having dual tips. a lot of cars have systems like that, but im not going to buy a 500 dollar cat back that doesnt even fit. i want just the muffler, and have my local exhaust shop do the piping.
also, ill buy the tips sepatate, but it would be nice to have two of the tips that come on trd's axle back. that would be real sweet. but i really dont want to increase the sound that much. like right between trd and stock, so no hint of ricey 4 cylinder sound. i hate that since the last 3 cars i had were all v6's. and no replies about how you dont think it sounds ricey, it prob doesnt. just personal pref. thanks.

he was talking about this but im not sure where he wants the exhuast to come from



if you look at the bumer the whough the huge holes where it looks like you would shove 2 fart cans cant realy fit them due to suspension parts so i guess the exhaust has to exit under the center section witch meens it can hang realy realy low since this kit hangs low to begin with

well, now that i have done alot of reseach on the topic, i have found out many things. for one... it is really easy to have a dual tip exhaust on our tc's. becuase we have about 20 inches from the axle to the back of the bumper... we can fit any muffler sideways. this means that if you go with a 5 inch round magnaflow muffler, connect a y pipe at the end, run two pipes from the Y... one going to the right and one going to the left... something like this.

this set up would have really poor flow. i would look at something more like the 350Z has. like this. http://www.hopupracing.com/meraoeexni35.html but i am not ompletely familure with the rear suspension and subframe of the tC. this will give you that dual exhaust look with out the reduction in performance and sound quality. Great project.

yes the 350z or g35 one would work and you could pick a muffler up like that from almost any where and passing up the suspension shouldnt be to big a deal but no performance gains from this setup more just looks and dead weight but hell if your doing a body kit you probly dont care mutch about performance

well you could get the performance if you where matting it up to a a system like DRAXAS. you could have any custom shop form a piece to mate the to up real clean. for cheap too. i think it would look great.

searching does wonders.... anyway, i believe Gabe at PrecisionMuffler has addressed the single in-dual out before and i believe he said that it is difficult or impossible to do with the amount of space under our car. this set up is nice looking, but it really is more for looks than performance

its not that hard especialy since every thing is able to hang lower since he is going to have a body kit


just not worth any thing but looks

the reason i think that the 350Z or G35 kits will work better is b/c the technology is already there and all you have to do is get the pip over to the inlet and not fabricate the whole thing. it most certainly is for looks and that is great but if you use a kit that was already built for that pourpose i dont think you will loose any performance at all.

i also think that with a lower rear valance or a complete body kit you will not have any vis issues.

Just got my car up on a lift and had some of the guys at Lou's Custom Exhaust take a look at it. They were thinking 2.5 all the way back and splitting the piping towards the end and going with the 2 mufflers. It'll be a tight fit but it should be doable. I was also quoted around 800 for stainless magnaflow from the header back. Not too bad. But as was mentioned, definitely a style mod.

I hope there are more mods on your car, because if you use pipe that is too big, you might actually lose power.

This is the precursor to my AW header, supercharger, and intake. I plan on getting the header and exhaust done at the same time so I can knock out the rasp immediately.

Still have yet to see a dual exhaust, other than on a SEMA car, that really gets me excited... if you look under there, there isn't that much room to play with, unless you really want to worry about scraping all the time....

Great for Show... Bad for Go....
