mr2, or mx5, or rx8 or most small cars have muflers like that stock, as most small cars dont have enough space between the rear axle and the bumper to fit a longitudinal muffler so transverse ones like that one are used from factory, making either 1 or 2 exits really easy to accommodate.

Yeah, come to think of it, 1 muffler w/2 outlets or 1 muffler to a single outlet will suffice. It's when they add dual outlets w/dual mufflers is where it becomes overkill.

*again using the MR2 exhaust as an example*

Im not a fan of the centre exhaust but this picture by Hachiroku in the thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=795 isnt bad at all. probably cuz the cars so dang nicely done up except for those decals

Therefore the exhaust will most likely be east west. Also it will most lokely be most of the width of the rear bumper, as regulations are tighter and tighter each year. This means that the difference between 1 tip and 2 tips is about 30-50cm of bent pipe. Sorry but I don't see this as more complicated

Hmm, yeah, that's a good point actually

I still prefer the Single Exit, Single Pipe idea, but I see no reason that yours wouldn't work either, though I think it should definitely be kept to one East-West Muffler rather than having two smaller mufflers - one on each pipe.

Yeah man definetly one muffler
And it comes down to personal preference in the end really, don't get me wrong I wasn't saying 2 exits is be all and end all, I was just saying it wasn't complicated
And yeah 2 in the centre deffinatly looks awesome 2 (G' concept)

10 or bust!!





But seriously, I don't care. I voted for the single/1-exit, but I wouldn't mind a single/2-exit. Just as long as I get to hear the beautiful Boxer rumble!

[WhatIs86For]

Yeah, I know it's H6 engine and not H4 engine, but that burbs sure sound nice.

Single exhaust with a single transverse muffler but with dual exits? That sounds like a good compromise. I still think it should be in the center but w/e .

What about dual exhasut with quad tips like the new STi?
Sure is expensive and isn't helpfull for power but looks nice:

Only certain cars can pull off quad tips! I think it'll be overkill on the FT.

yeah neither can that sti. no offence or anything but its an ugly sedan with an oversize spoiler with quad tips. one for each cylinder thats each the size of a coke bottle? not hating on subbies but they just havent made a pretty car (except the 22b)
