I dislike it as well also. But I guess they do that to keep bends in the piping low so the flow is higher.

while im sure the single exhaust is better for power, i think the dual setup looks more "clean." ;)

"Clean" or not, it's useless rice, period.

So what if you think it looks good - two mufflers on a 4cyl. car is stupid. It's just more dead weight that does nothing for the car.

Splitting the exhaust on an inline engine is ricey as hell. To each their own, but to me it just says that the person is an ignorant retard.

Ok then, my bad, it's not rice, it's just freaking retarded.

Mediocre Generica why so much anger? a simple "i don't like it" would do the trick. no use in being inflammatory. take a walk buddy!

How many people would have sat and thought about my post if I posted a simple "I don't like it."?

Much less.

Yes, I could take the time to type out an intellectual post detailing the blatant idiocy of splitting a 4cyl. exhaust, but my method was quicker and garnered more attention. I'm a *****, what can I say. Also, dual exhausts on inline engines is one of my pet peeves.

Um.. hello?! Can we say "SRT-4" or "STi" or the almighty "E-to-the-V-to-the-Oh-oh-Oh" ???? Sure the tC doesn't have as much power as the aforementioned ....... .... yet...... :twisted:


Looks friggin' DOPE!
Agree! The point isnt how many litres you run, its how much you squeeze out of what you have. Thats the whole idea with building fast cars. And I was thinking rice when I saw the title of the forum... but it looks damn nice. Good job.

Never liked the non-functional dual exhaust, when there is just one pipe coming from the motor...stupid IMO

it never ceases to amaze me how people can get so judgemental over other's mods. hey, i want a dual exhaust on my tC... not because i think it'll be better in power, but because i like the look. now, i don't particularly like the exhaust at the start of this thread, but i give the guy props for doing something different. why can't we appreciate the fact that he was willing to try something new?

the best ideas usually come out of a hundred crappy ones. anyone brave enough to try (and then post pics of it for people to be critical) gets my admiration..... even if i'm not thrilled with what they did.

I can see where you are going with the whole idea of larger exhaust for a turbo but I must agree that dual exhaust is a lot of usless deadweight. There is nothing a single exhaust can't do that can be accomplished with a dual. The turbos for the scion are simply too small (unless you spraying with larger turbo which you are not) due to a lack of engine power to spin bigger ones in any street usable range. Those smaller daily turbo setup are not going to take advantage of anything bigger then a single 3" downpipe, midpipe and exhaust.

Moral: This exhaust looks good but hurts performance unless it is titanium.

He can be original all he wants, but its wasted motion, splitting the air up. It just needs to go through one pipe and out the back, bigger piping not a split. Thats quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read on here, that we should let him be who he is...stop whining, we are just saying its not useful...and its ugly as hell too...period.

the "whiners" are people who insist on posting how this exhaust is a bunch of rice, as if any idea or mod which they don't like is just plain wrong.

credit should be given to anyone who dares to try something new. yah, maybe it doesn't work or maybe it isn't your taste. who the hell are YOU to decide what is and is not the "best" exhaust design? if you're so damn smart, then go work for toyota or magnaflow and design the best exhaust for all of us. prove it with a dyno and THEN you can have a holier-than-thou attitude.

you like a single tip exhaust, and on the tC that is possibly the optimal design. but maybe this dual exhaust is the basis for a radical engine mod. you don't know what other stuff is in the works for this car. so you really don't have any business posting such a nasty opinion. you don't like it, fine. if you don't think the split design is good (and in that we DO agree), then you can say so without being a jerk.
