Default Single or dual exhaust

what do you think looks better on our cars? i've seen everyone with dual exhaust. but anyone think a single exhaust would be good?

someone down here is selling a single exit exhaust, JIC semi titanium for a sc300, you guys know if this would fit my sc400?

peace out

i chose a dual exhaust. it'll look a lot better unless you somehow cover up the cutout on one side if you're going single.

Only way to do a single is if you cover up the other side.

My single sounds totally different than most dual... dual looks nicer but I prefer single.. unless its a Greddy SP.

Since you asked wich looks better, I will just vote for the dual.
On an SC300 (especially w/FI) a single exit sounds alot better ......
Since you have an SC400, It'll sound good either way though .
But it sure would be hard to pass up a good deal on that single JIC Titanium exhaust though.....

Depending on the length of the exhaust, you may need to do some minor modifications. But, I am sure it is nothing a good exhaust shop couldn't do for you in no time flat.

That being said, I agree with the masses that you only should go single exit if you are going to be molding over the other exhaust outlet in the bumper: neither a simple nor a cheap job to make it look good.

I would stick to the dual exhaust. A simple resonator delete and muffler swap can make the V8 sound absolutely nasty without breaking the bank. If you want some sound, that is the way to do it.

Heck, I have only deleted my stock resonators ($40 at the local exhaust shop), and that alone makes the car sounds a hell of a lot better from the additional 5-6dB and deeper tone.
