Exhaust and torque

[SAF_Capri]

Does converting to a twin exhuast system truly cause a loss in torque?

 

Im in need of a new exhuast, and considering a twin system as it suits the capri alot better. if torque loss truly happens then i will just fit a dummy pipe.

Hell if you're going to have a dummy pipe why not go the whole hog?

Is it two separate systems or does it join into 1 then split back into two? Anyhow, you don't usually just 'lose' something, but kind of shift things around, you might find you make more power further up the rev range for example.

I seem to remember that on V engines having a balence pipe joining the 2 banks moves the torque down the rev range or it makes more low down ?

its one single exhuast pipe, ...so would i get more low down torque with a twin a twin system?

[fostersice]

what engine are you running?????

 

you can run a smaller piper work to keep the back presser

 

or keep the pipe size and have small back boxes

 

with a turbo car you just need to get the gas out as fast as poss

 

im running a YB cosworth and just finished doing a twin system

 

 

you can call me if you want and i can put you onto someone who can tell you the best way to do it

[SAF_Capri]

Its running an XE

I assumed it was a V engine for some reason, if the pipe goes into one then splits to two I don't think it will make any noticeable difference.
