Why would a 4 cylinder engine require dual exhaust?

I see alot of civics with that...just curious?

Because they are ricers, and stupid.

dantastic

its just for aesthetics. does an m3 reallly need dual mufflers too? i highly doubt it (i kno its a i-6)

well it sounds annoying as hell

Paulll

Who are you?
so far, you have posted two threads, about stangs, in the civic forum...

I own a mustang and I love em...but I love all cars and modding them

Is that ok?

that's ok, but you seem to have this way of talking smack, but doing it subtly... :eh:

Like this thread for instance.. a retorical question: "Why would a 4 cylinder engine require dual exhaust?... cause it sounds annoying as hell."

supapoopa

Don't care what your in to (stangs) but i agree. :fawk:


Theres a lime colored civic by here thats automatic with dual n1's

:a: sounds like garbage. :jerkit:

For M3's, for POWER

Because the owner of said car thinks that the movie "The Fast And The Furious" is the best movie ever created and worships that movie to no end! for some, it's like the Bible of car modding.

what blows my mind is that i see so many cars cruising around with these ultra loud exhausts, dual pupes, 6" grapefruit shoooter tips, the car sounds like sh!t, and since they thought that simply putting a high flow exhaust on their car would give them more power (which it doesn't unless compensated for) they think they are GOD of the road from light to light.

To put it simply, the manufacturer of whatever car you are tinkering with has actually done a LOT of research on their stock exhaust system and fuel/air delivery to ensure that the car runs PERFECTLY. Most people do not realize this or they think the manufacturer did it wrong, and they end up doing more damage than good. I'm not saying that anyone that changes their exhaust is wrong, all i'm saying is that w/out the proper technical research, simply slapping on an exhaust system is doing more damage than good!

Case in point......guy i used to work with bought a 92 S-10 pickup, 4.3L V6, 5 speed. within 2 weeks he had installed a 4" body lift so he could put 32" tires underneath it. Then he went out and had a high flow dual exit exhaust put on it. keep in mind, that particular engine was made for low rpm torque, not high revving horsepower. about a week after he did the exhaust, he's complaining to me that the truck just doesn't seem to have enough power up hills. well, he still didn't understand why this was happening after i broke it down to him "barney style." High flow exhaust reduces backpressure, backpressure is needed in low rpms to make torque, and he had an engine that was designed to make low rpm torque. so right off idle, he was losing power. then by adding the oversize tires, he was making it harder for his engine to spin up to speed by the extra mass and rotation that had to be done in order to get the car moving. so i offered him the simple solution.....do some research to find out what he had to do to the throttle body to increase the fuel flow and then do some math dealing with the differentials (4wd truck) to see what he had to change his gearing to in order to compensate for the larger tires. Do all that and the truck would be fine. sounds simple, right? easy to understand, right? well, he still didn't understand and said the easiest thing to do would be to swap the engine for a 350. i bet he's still confused by what i said!
