Dual Exhaust

[Jericho123]

Does anybody know of anybody making a dual exhaust system or know how to make a dual exhaust from a regular exhaust system.

[RonH]

Any good muffler shop can dual out most any car, for a price.

[mobomelter]

why would you want dual exhaust on a 4-cylinder engine anyways? i mean i guess you could say it looks nice but at the same time it serves no purpose. its like stickers, fake scoops, and stuff from pep-boys.

eh? that's sweet?

[vindication]

dual exhaust on a 4-cyl car. it serves no purpose. you might as well just hang a muffler there.

[toucci]

I laugh whenever I see a dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder car. Get it if you want but remember there are lots of other people like me laughing.

[Badger Biker]

There was a guy from the Netherlands with a 3 who had the dealership put on a dual exhaust.

I will add that it looked farkin' sweet and really was just ... great.

It was strictly for looks, two pipes coming out of a single muffler, custom done. Looked stock/factory though. They were lost in the m3forums crash, but mb can be brought back one day.

is that photoshopped? (scratch)

[SpicyMchaggis]

No I think thats real. I believe that P5 is also boosted.

Dualies really don't do anything on the four-cylinders.

[Dexter]

the rear end of the 3 looks like it would be good with dual exhausts because it reminds me of the 6s

[Badger Biker]

Here's a pic of a sedan, not the one I was looking for, but it works till I can find the hatch one.

I was wondering about this too....I have a 5door 3 and I think dual would look sweet....but I'm wondering about the cost...I ordered a Draxas system, so I'd have to get another muffler...plus then see what the shop would charge to do that.....hmmmm

[Titanium-99]

i belive that magnaflow makes a dual exhaust for proteges.

[mobomelter]

tgv its not going to give you any performance gain so its purely for looks. you could buy another muffler with dual exit and just have both pipes come off one muffler.... since 2 mufflers on a 4 cylinder is once again, pointless.

I sell one but I'm not allowed to discuss it. view the exhast at www.postert.de

I'm pretty sure everyone knows it is not going to give you any performance. It is for looks and can look very good if done right.
But I still don't see how someone can say it is pointless to have a dual exit exhaust on a 4cylinder.....SRT-4 and there are many others that have them and look good. After all they need the ass to look good when thats the only thing you are staring at in a race. (rockon)

[mobomelter]

the srt-4 has a dual exit, off a single pipe and no mufflers. (don't beileve me? go here (http://www.dodgeboy.net/news/neon/index.htm) and scroll down) i'm not saying it doesn't look good i'm just saying it doesn't serve a purpose. i guess i've just always associated dual exhaust with a car that has AT LEAST 6 cylinders.

[mazdaspeedpower]

IT IS JUST FOR LOOKS, we got it, mmkay? lol. I think it would look pretty good so long as you stayed with the stock tip. Otherwise it would look gaudy. Maybe ditch the mufflers and go straigh to the tip to free it up a bit. The only way their could be a gain, is if you go bigger headers, and a larger pipe up to the Y-split, then maybe it'd do something, but no more than a larger diameter catback would do, which is little to nothing anyways, so really, whats the point of a catback unless it's on a turbo, and even then it doesn't do that much....

[Super Matty P]

bump, I added a pic.

[tgv121281]

So let me ask you this...if I install my Draxas cat back, I could get a pipe to go from the muffler and wrap around to make a tip on the other side of the car?? IS that about right? Or does it need to be split before the muffler? I'm confused....PS-Super Matty, the pic you posted looks awesome IMO, dual/dual exhaust.....can you PM or email me so I can get more info?

[Super Matty P]

i'll be more than happy to discuss this exhaust with you....only not on this forum. I'm not allowed to mention any products that I sell (while other people are).

If you'd like feel free to see my threads about these items on protegeclub.com they are all made by Postert.

Does anyone sell a triple exhaust? I think it would really add a nicely-balanced aura to the rear end.

Seriously, it doesn't look that bad on the 3 sedan pictured on the first page...what % of drivers actually know it is a 4 cyl. anyway?

[mobomelter]

thats true. you would impress the vast majority of drivers.... except for ones with any car knowledge.

[goldwing2000]

Who would point and laugh. (hah)

The more, the better, right? Why not just line up a whole string of pipes across the back? You could probably get 10 or 12 tips in there if you did it right! Yeah!

(jerkit)

[mobomelter]

i saw a focus yesterday that had a center exit exhaust and sounded really good..... only problem was he had 3 tips on that center exit instead of just the normal oval.

[tgv121281]

I think one tip on each side is ok, but dual tips on a dual exhaust on the 3 looks AWESOME.anybody know a shop in Miami that can do this??

And no one ever answered, I ordered the Draxas system...once I install it...how can I convert it to dual..or better yet dual tips AND dual exhaust...I know its gonna have to be with a shop...but can anyone give me an idea of how to accomplish this so I dont sound like an idiot, or get taken advantage of when I try and do this.....Just for the record, this will be only for looks, although when I go FI it may help a little...but for now just doing it for looks....Also, doing dual doesnt really ADD perf., but will it take anything away?????

Uhmm...I was kidding folks. :D

[mobomelter]

tgv,
i don't know what the 3's exhaust looks like since i haven't been under my 3 yet, but i would think you could cut the exhaust somewhere put on a y-type splitter then weld the pipe back togther with 2 exits coming off 1 muffler. it probably wouldn't look too nice since there isn't any underbody cut out for dual exhaust but maybe your exhaust shop guy could make it look nice.

[ADC]

Any one know of any exhausts for the 3 that look like the rx8. 1 tip on each side. cat back or full.??

[rbmazda3]

havent seen one to date. you can always go full custom and have a exhaust shop fabricate.

[Brian MP5T]

Why? If you want one, you might have to make it custom...

[mobomelter]

didn't we already have this discussion and most of us agreeded it would look like crap?

[goldwing2000]

Yep. Most of us agreed. Some people liked it, though. (dunno)

mobo, you were actually the last one to post. (second)

[Brian MP5T]

Crap!

[Badger Biker]

I think it would look fekkin' AWESOME. The 3's ass just begs for dual pipes ...

But it would have to be properly done, which is hard to do :(

[goldwing2000]

My problem is that it's completely useless. Why not just bolt an exhaust tip to the bottom of the bumper?

(threads merged)

[ADC]

My point is this: When looking straight on from behind, the 5door looks kinda odd With the narrow hatch portion and then the wide lower body. ANY other angle it looks awesome even viewing slight off center you can see the way it tapers down from the top down. But straight from behind it just looks, well like Jennifer Lopez. (spank)

But seriously that is the 1 thing I dont care for about mine even after 16000 miles in 8 months. And the Pipes on each side might distract from that.

Oh and the Mazda service in houston so far SUCKS.

[mobomelter]

mazda service in general is crap. the thing about putting dual exhaust is since the bumper isn't made for it you'd have to cut the bumper, thus making your car look like crap. save yourself the time, hassle, and money and just buy a system from mazda3online.com

[mobomelter]

is that the stock bumper or did you get a new one? it looks nice but it serves no purpose on a 4-cylinder.

Is that a custom plastic bumber thing? It looks good, but how did you get it to curve over the right exhaust?

[rbmazda3]

Off Topic...

What size wheels and what drop do you have?

[Don Lockwood]

Looks nice....

but this is not a dual exhaust, more like a dual tail pipe.... serves no purpose at all except looking good, adding weight and cost.

Sorry! Just my 2 cents.
