Otherwise, they just rob power. Plenty have had them and end up pissing them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 09/09/11 06:23 AM Share Posted 09/09/11 06:23 AM Even a lot of the bikes twin systems are fakeys now. The up under the seat twins anyway. In the fake hole is a key hole. Makes a good secure storage place. And the bikes runs better on the single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 09/09/11 07:03 AM Share Posted 09/09/11 07:03 AM Yep, that's the way I'd go. Used to run them on my HQ Monaro coupe 'cause I ran dump pipes. Even sprayed the inner of the tubes light grey (leaded fuel days for the youngens) so it looked like she was running sweet and kept the boys in blue happy . Was a bit of a giveaway going over dusty roads etc but looked the part and met the performance needs of the car. This is a similar scenario. You'd only notice at idle that one pipe was a fakey. Driving, nobody would notice. Subaru are doing it with Liberty models I noticed the other day. The tough one must get both sides active but povo models get the same tip, but no zort hooked up. It looked fine and we're only talking visual appeal here. People that think that's a wank need to consider that most think the same way about twin systems on XR6's anyway. At least this way you don't rob power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 09/09/11 08:28 AM Share Posted 09/09/11 08:28 AM Well if it was just the look and pride of it.I would be scouring some performance workshops and trying to get a cheap std GT or GS set. 2nd hand so to say .... cheap.XR6 with a std gt exhaust put in it. The guys at the shop just cut the other holes in the rear apron. While it looks Ok. It 's just Ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 1m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 10/09/11 07:28 AM Share Posted 10/09/11 07:28 AM (edited) I haven't got any photos under mine but I've done it twice now with the FG. First time I sourced a factory GT exhaust as they bolt straight up after the middle muffler. Took all the hard work out of it. (I still have it on the garage floor)I then went for mods than I had planned so purchased a system from mantaThis system is a 4" dump that splits to twin 3.5" cats and remains as a twin 3" pipe to the tips.
