Dual Exhaust
 
I was wondering if anyone has ever gone Dual Exhaust on the tC2. I'm in the process of mapping out a custom system that I will be constructing.
If you guys have any pointers/critiques they'd help a lot. If I'm to do two cats as well where should they be placed?

there is one guy on here who has one i forgot who it was but for some reason i think it was a wedding gift or something. it looked sweet

chrisrsclak7 06-17-2012 06:35 PM

Was his the true dual or did it have the two tips of one muffler

KidJustin 06-17-2012 08:57 PM

It's a she...manualchicktc or something like that

Custom fab from her hubby's dad

Search the owners lounge for her thread

There's also that guy Takanon in Japan. His setup is way sweeter than the chicks.

True dual on a 4-cylinder engine? Not happening, lol. One can imitate that look by having a y-pipe welded to split the exhaust to two pipes and route how you want though.

chrisrsclak7 06-18-2012 05:18 AM

Drop is it possible to customize a true dual? I've seen that video and I love the sound!
@Justin sorry bout the mis-gendering lol ill check out her thread

On a 4 cylinder, no. On a V6 or V8, V10, V12 you can because you have two separate exhaust banks, so you just keep the piping separate when run off the headers.

Here's a thread of dual exhaust done on the tC1:

Like I said, split at the rear axle back portion into two to give off the look.

So how would doing the y-pipe work? And what about the catalytic converter?

chrisrsclak7 06-18-2012 05:58 AM

You know of any power gains? I'm not trying to go for just looks I want it to be functional too

dropzone 06-18-2012 06:11 AM

Example of a y-pipe installed(it's an xB), then have the piping routed to the mufflers at the corners of the bumper and have it all welded.

This isn't for function, just looks. Power gains are minimal changing the exhaust. I wouldn't be worrying about HP gains on the exhaust unless going turbo, that's when the exhaust setup has more effect on power.

chrisrsclak7 06-19-2012 11:32 PM

Thanks man I may like my car looking good but I'm not about to waste money on something that's not fully functional

biglilsteve 06-20-2012 12:14 AM

Don't spend too much time worrying about things you do to your car being fully functional. Not a single bolt-on will give you gains worth writing home about.

chrisrsclak7 06-20-2012 12:21 AM

I don't plan on doing a bolt on I plan on a fully welded custom exhaust I know how to weld plus I'm studying to be a mechanical engineer so I figure why not

biglilsteve 06-20-2012 12:27 AM

I mean that's fine and all. But its still a bolt on. And it will still give you the same underwhelming results. The only way you are getting worthwhile gains is with forced induction.

chrisrsclak7 06-20-2012 12:30 AM

What forced induction products on the market for the tc2

biglilsteve 06-20-2012 01:11 AM

Dezod, Descendant, P-Tuning each have kits out at the moment.

Where can I get one of those? And how did you fabricate the other side to allow the second tip?

CementTC 06-22-2012 09:06 PM

Thats awesome someone over here needs to make that.
