i really dont mind about the duals alto they do look cool. im all about strictly performance. however i would like to still do the flowmasters. do they even have a single exhaust system for our cars?tealtiger93 said:This seems to be a hot argument. Many who put duals on go for looks. A single exhaust is more sensible because the engine is an I4 so there is only one pipe. Those who do duals get a "y" pipe to split it up. I haven't seen any proof in numbers performance wise. Many stay single exhaust because it is cheaper.
Any competent muffler shop (not Midas!) can fab an exhaust system for you. You DO NOT want to run Flowmasters on a turbo'd 4! They're very restrictive to our engines. The biggest performance hinderance to 2.3T's is airflow in and out. On the exhaust side, you want the least amount of backpressure possible. That means large diameter exhaust and straight thru mufflers.Slow92LX said:i really dont mind about the duals alto they do look cool. im all about strictly performance. however i would like to still do the flowmasters. do they even have a single exhaust system for our cars?

On my '89 the exhaust consists of a Bob's log, 3" elbow and downpipe, 3" Catco hi-flow cat, split into 2-1/2" duals with Dynomax Ultraflow 2-1/2" mufflers. The Dynomax's are one of the better straight thru design mufflers for our motors.
BTW, there is an awesome sale going on until June 15. $50 rebate on Dynomax mufflers. They retail on Summit for $69.88. That means a $70 muffler is gonna cost under $20! Can't beat it!!
It's all personal preference. I personally don't like the 'angry tractor' sound, and that's pretty much as 'aggressive' as the 2.3T gets. Dynomax also makes the straight thru bullet mufflers (they also have a rebate) and those might be more to your liking.Slow92LX said:i still would like an aggressive sound from the 2.3T... wil the Dynomax's provide?
well i watched the vid and it fits my liking. i saw that he had dual exhaust. is this necessary? i like dual catbacks a lot. i dont thinks his are catbacks tho. well theres supposed to be a law(which is still being debated if it should happen or not) here in Illinois regarding something with exhaust which i havent looked into but will. also in order to pass emissions, you need to have catlytic convertors. i was curious of what the cost would be between duals(no cat) and single exhaust? PS was that whining sound the turbo in the vid???evintho said:It's all personal preference. I personally don't like the 'angry tractor' sound, and that's pretty much as 'aggressive' as the 2.3T gets.

Check out this soundclip of RedLX's TC. He's running Hooker Maximum Flow's (also a good straight thru design) and it sounds awesome! I was debating between the Dynomax's and the Hooker's, but in the end, the Dynomax's cheap price got me!
