I was wondering if instead of 2 1/2" pipes for a dual setup, using something flatter and wider to run underneath the chassis for better clearance. In other words, rectangular instead of round. I was thinking that a 2"x6" rectangular shape would flow at least as much as 2 1/2" round pipe.

 

never heard of something like that, sounds neat tho

 

For ground clearance, I've always seen oval pipes used.....

TPI Do you have any pictures of the rectangular exhaust installed?

 

No , I dont have it on this car. Im thinking about doing it with a side exit again but Im not sure yet,

 

His link is to oval pipes like what I showed, not rectangular.....Rectangular wouldn't flow very well, because of the inside corners.

 

SpinTech still makes ovals too. Since reading this,I had NO idea there were more makers of the ovals!!

 

Yea I saw his link, but he did not refer to rectangular or oval pipes when he answered yea works well.

 

Any pics of them installed?

I saw some flat ducting on a BBC powered Saab 900 in the UK a few years ago. It was one of the quickest street legal cars in Europe at the time.

 

You mean like this? This stuff is all hand made and takes a rediculous amount of time/labour to fab. The Dr.Gas stuff is very expensive and running oval piping does present a certain amount of packaging challenges. I think your better off running one of the large mufflex systems.
