Im putting together a twin exhaust system on my sedan. The current plan that has begun construction is:

New flange has been installed between the end of the centre muffler and the diff.

From this flange I will be putting a short Y-pipe to feed a stainless muffler on each side of the car.

The guy at the exhaust shop suggested that I should ditch the centre muffler, start the mid pipe with a y-pipe (single 2.5" inlet to twin 2.25" outlets) and have a pipe running each side of the tailshaft containing long hotdog resonators.

The problem is that the sway bar only has clearance for a pipe on the passenger side of the tailshaft... where as i will need 2 of these clearance bends for a full twin system.

Does anyone know of a swaybar that will allow for a full twin system?

Not sure which way to go with this system now. I want the twin muffler rear end with absolutely NO increase in exhaust noise.

Y pipe after Swaybar??

removing the centre muffler and adding resonators WILL change the sound and make it louder.

Resonators change the tone of the exhaust, mufflers muffle.

id be keeping the centre muffler and having the y pipe after the sway

or have a dummy second tip?

What is the reason behind wanting 2?

+1 for Y pipe after swaybar.:thumbsup:

I can refer you to someone who does custom swaybars; they could accomodate your request, but at $300+ you'll want to be sure.

2 tips would look quite good; and 2 mufflers make it easier to damp sound & still have good flow. Look at how many factory setups run twin outlets now; Liberty , Outback, hell even the Mazda3 does it and they're not dummy tips either.

IMO, I hate hotdog resonators; they're cheap & crappy. They are shocking for flow, and the packing usually burns out after a few months.

They are the cheats way out of building a properly designed exhaust with quality resonators and mufflers.

Leave them for the Mirages and VN Commodores...

i dont mind changing the sound, just dont want a noticable increase in dB.

well the new flange is in place, ready for a rear only twin system...

and why twin mufflers? because it is sexy on large cars and makes the rear end look more even... ive got 2 of the stainless muffler on the right to install.... bumper has already been cut to match

the hardest bit is working out what to do with the fuel vapour breather and its pipes.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
