True Dual???

True Dual???
I've searched and read all through this thread which had a lot to say about Performance and Horsepower... I just want a true dual for pure BadAssity. Is it a stupid idea? I've done a little bit of math, I think the optimum NA size of exhaust is 2.5 right? Anyways, I'm pretty much no good at math but I've come up with a diameter (for the dual) of .88 which I'll probably round up to .9.
So am I totally off my rocker with this idea?? Set me straight people... I have no idea what I'm talking about anymore!!
I'M ON A RAMPAGE!!

A Rotary is not a 2 stroke. A 2 stroke exhaust is designed to send a pressure wave back to the valve so that the intake charge doesn't get drawn out the exhaust.
Area = pi * radius squared (A=pi*r^2); I have no idea where you came up with 0.88 or 0.9. The optimum diameter would be 2" tubing for duals.
Area of 2.5" 16ga tubing = 4.43 sq in
Area of 3" 16ga tubing = 6.49 sq in
Area of dual 2" 16ga tubing = 5.52 sq in
A properly collected header will produce more power then a true dual setup. A true dual exhaust is only effective on a stock port engine. Once you start porting the engine the dual setup loses efficiency.
Read the book Scientific Design of Exhaust and Intake Systems if you really want to know why.

Me neither, cause that's the equation I used... As I said, NO GOOD at math! lol...

sorry to steal your thread but , i got a qeustion, i got a pacesetter header with a obx-r turbo exhaust single exit by the driver side,the header is a diameter of 2.5in., and then i got a reducer of 2.25in., because the turbo exhaust comes up shorter dont know why,but anyways the exhuast is 3in., is that good exhuast setup?

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM, the search is so sexy. I wanna make love to it every time I have a question. It truly IS instant gratification. Just don't talk dirty to it. It doesn't like it. damn, it's all over my computer now.

To avoid further headaches: Stick with 2.25" or MAX 2.5". 3" will be overkill on the NA.

For a turbo (Which I believe is what you said you had), The standard rule of thumb is that bigger is generally better... But you don't want an exhaust SO large that the gas cools too much because then it becomes more dense, and thus harder to get out...
3 inches should be fine. You may want to see if you can get a 3.5 in case you ever plan on upgrading your turbo...

I've got the Racing Beat true-duals on my daily-driver. LOVE IT. It's basically the nicest exhaust you can get for a street-driven N/A... Extremely high-quality.
GREAT power-increase and fantastic sound. If you can afford it, I would recommend it... I got mine for a great deal, so I lucked out.

Mario, whatever it is that you have, you're restricting the exhaust by having so many size changes. *SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!!* But I believe the optimum size diameter for NA is 2.5 inches. Try to get yourself a full setup with that size pipe on it and you'll be good to go. As it is now, you're probably losing a little bit of power.

I am running RB true dual and it's a great exhaust. I think one of the benfits is knowing the characteristics of each housing. because each housing has it's own pipe, you can feel for exhaust pressure, buring oil or coolant, and backfiring (timing/fuel).

FYI to those reading this thread, "true dual" in technical terms is called an "uncollected" exhaust.
Stock port, street port, or bridge port with a small carb:
- Inside diameter 1.7-1.8".
- Short primary system collected at 22-25".
- Long primary system collected at 120-125"
Bridge port with a large carb:
- Inside diameter 1.7-1.8".
- Short primary system collected at 15-18".
- Long primary system collected at 113-118"
Peripheral port:
- Inside diameter 1.9-2.0".
- Short primary system collected at 10-18".
- Long primary system collected at 89-94"
For those who don't know the difference between short and long primary design:
Short Primary (header collects near the firewall):

Long Primary (dual exhaust pipes collect near the rear of the car):

As for an exhaust system with an increasing exhaust pipe diameter... yes, this is recommended by Rick Engman of Downing Atlanta. The theory is to start with the proper header diameter (about 1.75" ID), and then gradually increase the diameter of the next exhaust components by maybe 1/4-1/2" ID so the entire exhaust system forms a type of megaphone. He recommends this setup with an exhaust collected at about 27".
