ok im confused wut is a TRUE dual exhuast?

 

true dual exhausts are two separate pipings for the exhaust. like our stock exhaust is a single pipe that leads up to the muffler which is dual. but a true dual would be two single pipes that lead up to each muffler. hope that helps.

 

i believe that means theres two pipes instead of one goin to the engine? lol i think..someone correct me if im wrong =/

 

like this nismo exhaust is a single piping

and this stillen is a true dual https://g35driver.com/forums/archived-sales/196352-stillen-exhaust-sale.html

 

"True Dual" is indicating that there are two distinct and SEPARATE exhaust pipes running from the Catalytic converters of the car (referred to as "CATS" here and most everywhere) all the way to the exhaust tips/pipes.

*Basically*

Non-Dual:
Our coupe and most cars have a "Y" pipe connecting the (2) exhaust pipes:
1 pipe coming from the first "CAT"
2nd pipe coming from the second "CAT"

It then combines the two individual pipes into just one pipe that then goes to the back of the car. THUS the "Y" shape and reference.

True-Dual:
This changes the "Y" portion of the exhaust to an "X" pipe, which contains the two individual and SEPARATED exhaust pipes going from the "CATS" all the way to the back of the car. This allows for more expedited expense of the exhaust gases = which in turn creates a little bit more Horse Power and Torque.

To help make more sense of this...

If you look at the back of your coupe, it *LOOKS* like there are two seperate exhaust pipes....BUT...look closer. Crawl under the back of the car and you'll soon realize that the (2) exhaust pipes are actually just one SINGULAR pipe going into the MUFFLER and then splitting into (2) pipes.

On a "True-Dual" system, from the "CATS" back you have TWO PIPES and TWO MUFFLERS.

Hope this helps!
-WoW

 

ok that helps i get it now lol

so wuts better?

 

True duals will give you more HP and torque gains than a single... As far as sound, that's a personal preference from exhaust to exhaust, but I like the sound of the Fast Intentions Intimidator (true dual) and the Stillen True Dual.

 

I went from the stock exhaust to HKS Ti Tru dual and i love the sound of it, but HKS is really expensive. I bought mine off a friend
