V8 Beast Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I was thinking about ditching the y-pipe and going with a dual exhaust setup. I know it doesnt add any power, but it sounds nice as hell. After researching they really dont cost as much as I thought.... well thats if I have it dumped at the axle. Going over the axle is an entire different story. Anyone here been in a car that dumps at the axle? How does it sound from inside the car?

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yes, Anthony's car dumps at the axle and is really annoying and loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 my mustang dumped at duals, and i agree, super loud, and annoying at full rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yes, Anthony's car dumps at the axle and is really annoying and loud! So when we were at the dyno that night and his car made me deaf for a few hours it was dumping at the axle.... sweet ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 mine dumps at the axle as well... it sounds great! Now I would have it no other way.... honestly, the only time you can notice any exhaust smell is if you're sitting at a light for a period of time.

MrMeanGreen Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Mine also picked up 28rwhp on the top end with my annoyingly loud duals. And, they were $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rice Eater Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 True duals dumping at the axle with performance mufflers and something more than a stock engine tends to resonate unless you take them to the side of the car.Mine dump right below the rear axle next to the center angled outward about 30degrees. I have full length headers and 2 1/2" system with H-pipe and 40 series Flowmasters..sounds like a damn boom boom stereo vibrating the whole damn car but sounds good outside. I learned later, but haven't changed it yet, that if you are going to stop short of the edge of the car like this that you should angle the tips towards each other slightly. Supposedly this somewhat cancels the resonance, that's according to David Vizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I had them on my LS1. Stupid loud and annoying when you're in the car. But, they sure sounded better than any y-pipe setup... :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have to disagree about the sound. I personally hate the sound of a X pipped car. Here is an example, save as both cars at WOT. Listen to my clutch slip on gear changes, it came off the dyno that night and was down 40rwhp and 40rwtq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powers Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 This setup is badass!! http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/xxtheonlyxx/2hflyq8.jpg Very nice craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnman Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Very nice craftsmanship. Agree. How much does that set up cost? I also like the sound of the y- pipe { second car} better on the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LSWON333 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Tsp y through rumbler exhaust (bullet) sounds mean, definately better than the first one in that vid. I need a cut-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have to disagree about the sound. I personally hate the sound of a X pipped car. I'd rather have and h-pipe than an x-pipe, but the rasp you get from a catless y-pipe and insert-any-catback-here is almost sickening... :barf: I still have a video of my Formula with true duals here...

SPLN SUX Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Open pipe right behind the front tire is the only way to go... many people dont like the volume of the sound, but you can more easily pick apart the differnt sounds that are coming from the exhaust. Its easier to hear when theres even a minute problem with the fuel burn. I personaly have always liked a loud exhaust, and one that terminate less than 10 ft of pipe length from the heads.

Guest LSWON333 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Mine y is catted not much rasp to be heard. Those true duals did sounds pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 My Formula has 3" true duals dumping at the axle. Dynomax Bullets, no crossover pipe. My car is loud, but was louder when I had the cutout open on my old setup (4" Y pipe - 3" reducer to cutout and Flowmaster). Hooker Long Tubes. Of course, I have an LT1, which doesn't have many of the rasp issues the LS1 cars have to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Outside the car I don't feel there is any comparison TD > *. Inside the car it is a completely different story. A car with the TDs dumped before the axle rattles everything inside the car. Way too loud inside. My car is very quiet on the inside. I di have problems with rasp from 2000-2300 RPMs but I can deal with that for it to at least be sane inside the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You're just jealous. Man your car would look so much better if it were lowered. (oh that's right you can't because your TD set up will scratch a trail in the road we can all follow.);-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
