Default style question about exhaust

would you rather have a single or a dual exhaust on your SC?

I've seen a couple SCs that had a singel exhaust and a fixed or new bumper so that there was only one outlet - what do you think looks better?

I prefer a single on inline engines. You will also save some weight by going single but the cost of modifying or finding a bumper is a little prohibitive.

if you can close the hole in the bumper...i would say single. If its something thats really not plausible, stay dual. I LOVE it when i see other cars with aftermarket bumpers cut for dual exhaust but only have a single 2" pipe sticking out through the one on the right.

dual, i like symmetry on cars because it keeps a classier look. But a single exhaust is better for performance

DUAL, it gives a look of power an style. an from what i have been told 3" is to big for non turbo cars 2.5 is the proper size, an im qurious on the 400's if you have a single exhast well it preform beter.
