True duals out the back concept design Hey guys,
I was thinking and I came up with this design to get true duals out the back.
<img src="http://www.thunderms.com/images/xpipe.jpg" alt=" - " />
Its a very crude sketch but you get the idea.
Basically an x-pipe that merges again into one pipe and this pipe goes and connects to any aftermarket or stock exhaust system. Fitted with two QTEC electric cutouts, you can have a nice quiet ride from the mufflered catback and when needed, true duals.
Let me know what ya think

Re: True duals out the back concept design It is my understanding that the Cutout's need to be further back to keep from losing backpressure in the performance of the vehicle. I am not a exhaust expert by no means. Also, if this is true, then you would only need one cutout. However, someone else, can explain this better.

Re: True duals out the back concept design Just my opnion, but I don't think you'd see any of the advantages of an X-pipe with a setup like that... Plus, I wouldn't call that a "true dual" system, since all you've really done is moved the Y-pipe farther back, and put an "X" in front of it.

Just as well have the Ypipe go into a bullet and dump under the axle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: True duals out the back concept design yep. its just that I wanted the performance and look of the dual, but wanted it to exit out the back also. the body kit on the car has a rear valence where it needs exhaust tips and i think it would look totally gay if it was empty. so i came up with this <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
