it would depend upon the application. what's the platform? the 3000GT doesn't have a true dual exhaust. tho i love the low rumble and hum of a dual exhaust with headers on an LT1 Camaro.

I like the way dual looks, too bad its not a true dual on the 3S but I guess that would mean two cats and piping which would drive up the price and weight. Dosent the 300ZX have true dual?

what do u guys mean by true dual? when u change to after market exahust it becomes a true dual right????
beause i want to get a custom cat-back with the quad tips.

3000gt style dual exhaust: One down pipe one Cat, whish splits into two pipes that go back to the mufflers

True dual: 2 sets of cats and pipes one from each "Bank" of cylinders.
I.E. one pipe for the front 3 cylinders, one pipe for the back 3 cylinders (usu it would be one for left, one for right, but because of the engine placement, i said F&B)

would it be safe if i ditched the fake duals and just had one aftermarket pipe..cause it would lower the weight a good pit, and its cheaper. but does that other little shitty pipe realy make much of a difference...need imput

[Thourun]

I think it looks great, I like total simetry on a car.

[GritMaster]

Nope the other pipe won't make a diffreence if you're running a single 3" pipe or even smaller possibly, it depends on the diameter of your downpipe. if it's only a 2" downpipe then a 3" catback won't really do much more than a 2" catback.

So, Nope it doesn't matter

How dose the True Dual work on the vr4? Is there enough room under the car to run two different 3" pipes all through the car.

[GritMaster]

Don't think anyone has ever put true dual on a vr-4

It's just not practical for this specific application.

[Stealthee]

There's been a few true dual VR4's but everyone basically said it was a waste of money and just added weight.

[G35turbo]

lol, so its not worth the extra hp becaue of the weight???

[talskinyguy]

You also wouldnt need 2 3" pipes, 2 2" pipes should be enough.

yes, the 300zx (z32(90-96)) has true dual exhaust...

and to me, it depends on the application...on a 3000gt i would take a true dual set up with nothing but 2 huge dual-tip mufflers, on on each side. that should give that low rumble that everyone loves.
