boostsr20 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Anyone know if someone might be developing these for the LGT? I know I'd rather have a straight 3" catback rather than splitting it to both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepin gt Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 y? ...oh, and id bet money no one would develop an exhaust that leaves a muffler tip opening empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Do you really want that look? I don't know about rice, but it sure would look funny with that other cutout for the pipe unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 From a performance standpoint there is no reason whatsoever to run dual mufflers. I thought about going with a 3" single system, but I saw the Blitz system at a local meet and I did not like the look at all. For whatever reason it does not look right on the car. While the cost of dual mufflers will obviously be higher, I think it will be well worth it. A nicely made y-pipe will minimize any inherent flow restriction.

I'm not paying over a grand for a system that necks down to 2.25" at the Y. Thats just rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I would think the major reason for duals on this car is noise level. Dual 2.5" mufflers will give you more flow w/ less noise than a single 3". In fact, even dual 2.25" will have more cross sectional area than a single 3". Given the semi-luxury status I think a loud single can would be out of place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not paying over a grand for a system that necks down to 2.25" at the Y. Thats just rediculous. You have to look at surface area. A 3" tube has a surface area of 7.16 sq.inches. A 2.25" tube has a surface area of 3.98 sq.inches. So a dual 2.25" tubes will have a total surface area of 7.96 sq.inches or an area that is larger than the single 3" tube that preceded it, and thus have potentially GREATER flow than a single 3" diameter tube. Your exhaust can only flow as much as its greatest restriction, so going to duals will not improve flow, but having dual 2.25" tails will not hurt in the least. Going bigger could actually hurt velocity and decrease low-end torque with no improvements in top-end power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not here to debate that with anyone. I have seen conclusive test on similar sized motors. The dual setup was extremely well design but it still had a fair bit less hp up top and lost little to none down low and through the midrange.

The dual setup was extremely well design but it still had a fair bit less hp up top and lost little to none down low and through the midrange. I'm not debating that either. As I said before, from a power standpoint, a single is better. However, when you suggested that going from a single 3" to dual 2.25" tails was "rediculous", I'm simply pointing out that two 2.25" tubes offer the potential for greater flow than a single 3" tube. That's all. There are other factors involved that would determine the power production of either setup. Factors that I would imagine would vary signifigantly from car to car. Either way, go right ahead and do a single 3" system and let us all know how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 You can run a custom 3", it's all just piping. No worries about how it looks, that's not the point that Boostsr20 is making.. be nice and please keep all profanity to zero.. a nicer way to put it was, "please leave the opinions of style aside.. I was looking for.." would have better words.. for those who plan to reply, please think before you type and choose your words wisely. Everyone lighten up, it's only piping and weight reduction.

I'll try to get it done though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom96 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Well, if someone tells me to stop acting like a dick, I take it to mean they're calling me a dick :dunno: But it's neither here not there- I just like to watch the fun. Well, looks like I missed an interesting conversation this weekend while I was getting together with some great Legacygt.com members here in the Springs. See http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8470&page=3 Anyway, sorry you were offended by my comment, Booster. I don't recall calling you a "ricer", but had I done so, it would not have been intended as an insult. The fact is, whether they are looking for straight out performance, sound, appearance, whatever, many "ricers" take lots of cars with stock duals and convert them to single pipes, which is the point I was making to sleepin GT, who obviously had not seen such modifications. It was not intended to degrade your request for information in any way. I haven't been a member that long, but I have not and will not flame other members. Hope you find the exhaust you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
