hey guys,

Im looking to get a new exhaust for the X and was just curious if there are any pros or cons going for the single or dual exit. I am mainly interested in the performance and sound levels. Thanks for any information! Also can anyone recommend a quiet exhaust with no drone

 

If want quiet get the ETS quiet version http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/E...st-System.html

I have heard this in person and it's pretty quiet but sounds good at WOT.

 

I am going with a single exit Tomei Expreme Ti.

Pros

1) single exit flows better
2) it's heaps lighter than a dual
3) it's full titanium and cheaper than most dual exit stainless.
4) I prefer the look of a single exit

Cons - it's going to be louder

 

Single, less weighted more fireballs. Dual, more weight looks cleaner sounds almost the same.

 

Quiet dual T1R.

Quietish single but no drone Ark Performance NII.

I've owned both.

 

...

 

I've always liked the sound of singles on and four banger better.

 

This exhaust is awesome. From what I understand it's essentially what's already been said, primarily single is lighter, and secondarily it should be more free flowing. than a split dual exhaust. And the Tomei has that awesome Titanium finish.

 

I more preferable to the dual exit on the X's. It just looks a lot cleaner to me in general. I personally think that the reason a large portion people go with the single exit is weight savings.

 

Acm_evo - sure if that's your preference if your to closed minded to appreciate other people's taste then sure. Personally I like that people have different tastes and therefore such a popular car is modified in so many different ways. I prefer single exit doesn't mean I am going rubbish anyone that chooses to go double exit.

 

I currently have the AMS single-exit exhaust and the reason I bought it, is because of the weight reduction, flow and style preference. There are some dual tip exhaust that probably weight a little less than mine does, but it was just a matter of preference.

I do like the way duals look, but I was never a fan of dual tips on a four cylinder. Again, it's just a personal preference.

 

Just installed my ETS. I think it looks very clean and sounds good. Tune tomorrow so we shall see what performance gains I get.

 

you're quite right, and i should apologize for my comment. I guess i didn't need to put it as strongly as i did; however, imho if the car has provisions for dual exit pipes, changing the exhaust to a single exit makes it look strange. Unless your car is used for racing, saving a few lbs and making the exhaust a little more freer flowing is not going to make a huge difference that you'll be able to feel while driving on the street. I also agree that a 4 cylinder car should come with single exit exhaust, not dual tips.

 

It's all personal preference. I went with the dual Perrin cat back and am starting to regret going with a single. The single exit exhaust just looks more aggressive to me and fits the car better. A 4 cylinder engine does not need a dual exit exhaust.

In the end it’s your, do what you want. Duals will be quieter and slightly more restrictive while singles are usually louder and freer flowing.

 

I have the ETS dual, I love the way it sounds and looks. But, it was several months of debating between the ETS V2 extreme and tomei. I like the looks of both equally and both sound awesome, my final deciding factor was that I decided to go ETS everything.

Good Luck!!!
