Dual Exhaust and weight
so i know that we are a V6 and the 2 exhaust mainfolds come into one down pipe. well what if we ran 2 seperate exhaust pipes back like them side by side. you think this is posible and if it is you think there is any power gain... or worth it?
Also does anyone know how our weight in the VR4 is placed? like 40 front and 60 rear? or what? and if so what the weight numbers are? thanks |

Re: Dual Exhaust and weight
Its been discussed and true duals just arent worth it. There is limited room for one, the performance gain is minimal at best, and it adds a lot of unnecessary weight.

Re: Dual Exhaust and weight
I would bet its more 60 front 40 rear. Thats why alot of guys relocate the battery to the rear, one for weight distribution and two for more room up front.

Re: Dual Exhaust and weight
i think the added weight of a box would do more harn than having imperfect weight distribution.
