I have read in a few other strings that Dynomax makes a Dual exhaust setup for our cars. I've found it in Jeg's and will (hopefully) be purchasing it and installing it in the next few months.
My question is, is there anyone out there running with this setup?
Advantages/Disadvantages, are there possibly other options that are better?
(Basicly, I'm asking you all to start a debate on the pros and cons of this type of setup, and possible alternatives. }:>

Thanks to all who contribute!!

 

I too have seen that in Jegs. I was at one time thinkin of getting it also, but I haven't really heard anything about it, so I dont know if it would be worth it. I guess I'm just as curious as you about it. The thing about it I noticed though is how you can't hook it up to the dynomax headers, or the shorty ones I think. I don't know what the hell you're supposed to hook em up with then. So yeah, if anyone else has any info that'd be cool....

yeah, i'd really like to know about this, so i'm moving it to the top.

 

i think it's ment for LT headers, but i'm not sure. just call/e-mail dynomax for more info.

 

Nobody knows anything about it??????

I also looked it up in Jegs but there's really next to no info. on it and no real pictures of it......

 

I have the Dynomax 2001 catalogue; stole it from work! haha Ok the Dynomax dual system uses the dynomax cyclone shorty headers I am pretty sure. It isnt mandrel bent and it dumps before the rear wheels. I dont want to go get the book cause I am too lazy so if you have more questions; post again and I'll get the book.

 

what is the point? single 3" will outflow that dual 2.25" anyway.

 

Are you sure about that???? Cause i HAVE to think otherwise. single 3 inch only allows all the way..till past the muffler..than ya go with 2.25...combined breathing room of 4.50 inches...so how does this flow better???

 

Lets not even have this stupid argument again, everyone says something different anyway, and since everyones an expert.......

 

not tryin to start a fight..just stating the facts.
2 lanes of traffic are pretty jamed up...which would be a better way for these 2 lanes to move faster....to enlarge the street to 3 lanes...or to have it divided off into 2 streets of 2....obviously the 2 streets of 2..because it makes 4 lanes..so more cars can move.......think about it

 

The area of flow isn't simply calculated by adding up the combined diameters of the tubes. Lets do a little math...

The formula for the area of a circle (which is what the cross section of a mandrel bent tube is) is a = pi * r^2.

For a single 3" tube this would be...
a = 3.14 * 1.5^2
a = 3.14 * 2.25
a = 7.069

For dual 2.25" tubes this would be...
a = 2(3.14 * 1.125^2)
a = 2(3.14 * 1.27)
a = 2(3.98)
a = 7.95

Therefore the dual 2.25 tubes would only get you a 12% increase in cross section for a 50% increase in total diameter.

 

OK, now we're getting somewhere.
So a dual 2.25" setup yields a 12% increase in flow over a single 3" setup.
How much horsepower will each of those yield?
Again, anyone running either of these setups?
Any problems with the exhaust exiting before the rear wheels?

Thanks again!!

 

go with a 3.5 inch single pipe an u will have all the exhaust u need. anyways 3 inch single is good till 400 horse and if u are makin more then that then u are nuts lol

 

So do they make a dual exhaust kit or not? i dont care about the argument. My 406 is gonna need something more than single 3in. thanks
