Default dual exaust ----- will it kill the power

hey i wanted to put dual tips on the the toy box but i dont want it to kill the power i was told by people that it will cause the car to have to much flow and so back force so it would slow it down i see HAWAINBUILT has dual so i am confused can i or should i just do it and have a dummy dual?

you could run smaller piping to the dual.....that would help keep backpressure........

i wouldnt do it just for the fact you might get laughed at for having dualies on a 1.5 4 cyl. find a nice 3.5" catback, more power and will have a nice sporty non ricer look

Dual pipes looks hella sexy. I was following EVILDAVE home from a meet and couldn't get over how much more balanced and symmetrical it looks. Like Sci Tc said, go with smaller piping and it shouldn't have a detrimental effect...

id run 1" inch pipe out of a quad exhaust set up

naw, in all seriousness, if you kept the pipe small, back pressure would be okay and you would have a hella clean system

Regarding the performance change due to dual exhausts, I really am not a tech to say up to what diameter you will start losing power.

Because I do drive an xB, the style of my ride isn't geared toward power anyway, I like it more for show simply put. Always have been a fan of the duals, always will.

Here are some pics of my friend's and my duals: EvilDave's Ride, George's Ride, and my ride...whatever you decide I'd love to see what you come up with!!







GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GREAT TIME CUSTOMIZING!!!

Do you cut out the half circle to fit the exhaust on the other side ??

I'm not much a Scion tech but I am an Automotive engineer by trade & one trick we do for concept cars that we want a lot of exhaust pipes for is to put an exhaust cone by the head to restrict back pressure at that point, you can also (not as effective) put a whasher on a screw close to the engine as possible right through the center of the pipe & turn it to open or close off or restrict if you will the exhaust causing a tuning effect, this is done quite often on project cars & really works well.




Hope this helps
