Has anyone put a dual muffler system on a 4th gen? I'm looking to add one to my wagon and welcome any tips.

I don't have it, but I have seen it done. Not very attractive unless you have a different bumper that will accomidate them both. Then still you're losing back pressure from it.

 

You won't lose backpressure if you use two dual 2" pipes.....
in fact, that has the same effect as a single 2.25" or 2.5" pipe according to the exhaust sizing chart.

 

I would just go with EX style exhaust...

 

How about a true dual setup with 2 cyclinders per exhaust pipe and 2 cats with 2 mufflers. Deffinately will have a richer sound and more performance with a CAI or forced air.

 

if you do what hype8912 says, I doubt that the stepping of the header would be beneficial, but I am not familiar with the physics invovled so far as the 4-1, 4-2-1 design and why they do what they do per se.....however, if you were to do that, it would quite probably sound terrible (think weedeater), far from rumbly, however performance may or may not be better, I'm not really sure, I'd just y-pipe it myself.

 

its been done....but u loose high end hp....so BLAH!!....

 

Sometimes my ideas for exhaust don't always work on imports. Their just ideas. I am a chevy truck loving dragster guy with v8's super chargers coverted to imports. My ideas from my days of running chevys are over and don't always convert over to import standards with looks and sounds.

Dude if you want duals go for duals. If not do for a single. I'm looking at the Tanabe Super Racing Medallion for my 4g. I've heard a few tanabes around town and like it.

I have duals on a 5g...of course i get dogged on by the TRUE racers...but yea...but mine i guess you could say are a little OUTDONE due to the custom 5.5"in tips some would say :tfg: but i dont care

 

a TRUE racer that knows wtf they are talking about would realize that you will lose MAYBE a 1ft-lb at low end with corectly sized (2") dual exhaust, but that you would probably stay the same everywhere else. The reason no one uses them in the REAL racing world is that 2 muffler/that much pipe = tons of unneeded weight. IE: why do it with two what you can do with one if it weighs less?



I say, if you want them, just don't get dual canisters
