Well how can there be any ounces that don't count? That's why that statement is so silly, just like saying "it all adds up". How could it not? ![Wink](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Yeah, the inside of an Elise looks just the same as the inside of a stripped FC...
Oops, when you said you had an RB system I assumed turbo. My bad.
The whole point of the FC's stock exhaust configuration is being able to use two parallel mufflers for better noise suppression. Running two pipes to one muffler would be a waste of that opportunity.
This thread is about dual rear mufflers, not dual tips. It's also about FC's...

I've got an NA, not a turbo, so 3" is likely overkill.

How bout the best of both worlds?
True duel with a single side exit!...Anyone ever done this on an FC?

True dual is non-existant on turbo'd engines.
Now 2 single runners merged somewhere under the car would be a good option. Those merged headers do have a reason behind them. I forget if moving the merge point back increases low end or high end. I remember reading something about it a while back.

Not if you have two turbos... ![Wink](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
It won't do the same job as two mufflers of the same external dimensions, which is the whole point of the FC's dual exhaust. The physical size of the can effects a muffler's performance. Ask anyone with those silly N1-style mufflers...

How much you want to bet the internal design of that pacesetter muffler has to seporate perforated tubes
It may be a single muffler but it may do the job as two.

Well my post was more less a joke, when I said "the best of both worlds" I was joking around cause people were arguing that duel is better and other were saying single is better, so I posted my exhaust, cause it is a duel exhaust system, but exits on one side.
And the Pace Setter actually has one large perforated tube, than joins back into two separate exits. So there is a cross over point. Probably doesn't have the same affects of an "X" or "H" pipe, but I would imagine increases the scavenging affect.

No it is straight through, it isnt a chambered muffler.
I just called it an expansion chamber, doesn't mean its a chambered muffler.
Ever see a pipe on a 2-stroke bike, how it goes from small to big than back to small, thats called an expansion chamber.
My exhaust goes from two small ones, into one large one, than back onto two small ones, the gases expand when they reach the large one, because they travel from a small space to a large one.

Dude, it's just a name, Ill take a pic of the inside of the muffler if you want.
There's no baffles, you can look right through it
And I'm strictly answering to your comments, there for your posts responding to my original post have nothing to do with this thread.

Yea, this NZ guy^ has no clue what he is talking about. In autocross one millisecond could mean 1st place or 1st loser. Taking 30 pounds out of the rear of your car is amazing, autocrossers dont remove the spare, jack, tools, kleenex box for nothing..... obviously you have never done any sort of sanctioned racing.

Modified how is a good question, since I'd imagine that you'd just hack off the muffler and weld it to some larger piping since you're making it dual? Did I read that right? Doesn't seem too effective to me.
