I was looking to install a single canister exhaust system and was wondering which ones are good. Also I want the muffler to exit at an angle out the back instead of straight out. I was wondering what I need to accomplish this look? It doesn't matter to me what side it exits out of although most of the ones I have seen with single have come out the left side.

 

I really like the JIC magic single canister.....I am getting mine from Mike and Dave over at 350z forums.... Spartan De single....

GReddy makes a single

some other company does also but can't remember the name....

from what i have seen the JIC exits at an angle....there are a couple guys on the board that have this type of exhaust so you might what to ask around.....I will try to find a pic of some of them for you.

A couple people on here have custom HKS single exhaust set ups i think.

 

I was talking to a bud of mine and he ended up taking his JIC off because of rattling issues. Since the canister's so huge it ends up rattling on ignition, and i forget the rest. He mentioned it giving him some good pull though, i guess its mainly because of the excellent weight saving (i think -30lb or more?). So just keep that in mind, either you insulate the exhaust to prevent the rattling, put up with the noise, or just get something more solid. enjoy!

 

Visually I think the dual is far more attractive. But the weight savings sound very appealing.

 

Thanks for the response, I am still not quite sure which I will go with but I will definately consider the noise factor.

 

I do agree that the dual is very attractive but I am always tryin to do things that are different with my vehicles so I thought I would try single and see how it goes.

damn dude you have a sick *** car! same exhasut im planning on

 

omg that exhaust is sexy, wut is it how much is it and where can i get it from,

also MCopare do u have any sound clips or videos of ur car in action i could see or something, hit me up on aim sundawg911 or email me something plz at sundawg911@aol.com thanxx

Looks like a good setup if you like scraping your muffler everywhere.

 

are there any proven gains on single canister exhaust systems?? ive been thinking about this set up

 

Most single canister exhausts are not angled much, like they would be on say a TT supra. REason being is the piping routed in the back of our cars doesn't require the piping to dip under the rear sway bar or anything as dramatically as on a supra, or eclipse etc.... Performance wise, straighter is better. I had the JIC exhaust on my car, the single canister bullet Titanium, and I loved it. It didn't have that much of an angle, but it does angle out a bit. I was disapointed with the angle as well at first, but I ended up loving the way it looked. I think the Z with single exhaust setups are much nicer IMO.

As for which one I'd recomend, I'd shoot for the JIC, but in stainless. REason being, is that for a daily driver, stainless is better because if you ever bottom out, or hit something and crack it or break a weld or flange, it's very easy to get it fixed, for very cheap at a muffler shop. Titanium on the other hand, well, you're pretty much screwed, unless you can find a place that can weld titanium, which is EXTEMELEY hard, and will be stupid in price.
But for lightweight, can't beat titanium hehe
We are dealing now with JIC components, so if you are interested just pm me.

 

How does a single canister exhaust perform against a single cat- dual canister and a true dual exhaust? I know if you were to go F /I you couldn't go true duals. So, out of the Single or dual canister which would be the best as far as putting hp. #'s N/A and F/I?

 

What are you talking about? There are plenty of FI cars with true duals. It is probably the best setup for turbos. I used to have a true dual with my supercharger, but switched to a y-pipe design to get more back pressure and torque.

 

Yes, you can run true dual esxhausts on an FI car. Single turbo exhausts may be a little different however depending on their setups. As for which type of exhaust performs the best, it really is hard to say. I don't think one style outperforms the next. When you think about it, the y-pipe converges two pipes into one, then at the muffler (stock), the exhaust is directed into the muffler with only the same one pipe, but it exits through 2. Basically we just have a huge dual tip exhaust. So it really doesn't matter which one you go with. A single canister will perform the same as a dual canister, because the exhaust is still going into the muffler the same, via one pipe, it just exits through one pipe, not two. As for true dual exhausts, again, it really is like comparing apples to oranges. A true dual runs two, smaller pipes all the way back instead of one bigger one.
There are performance gains equal between the two styles that can be had with any setup you go with. I noticed just as much gain on my JIC exhaust when I had it as I did with my true dual cat back injen SES. It's just a style, and fitment issue, that's about all that's different.

 

Very well said Tony. I am working on getting some videos/sound clips up for you sundawg.

 

I disagree because I have had both true dual and y-pipe design exhaust on my car with a Vortech SC. With the Borla, my top end HP was greater than it is now, but my TQ was lower. With both the JIC and NISMO exhaust the top end HP was not as great but I gained TQ throughout the RPM range and the car felt better and more punchy. So not only did it make a difference on the dyno, but it made a difference in the feel of the car.

Your experience may be different than mine. I am not saying that I am right and you are wrong. I simply disagree because I have had both styles of exhaust on my car and saw/felt a difference.

People always want a final answer on parts, performance, etc. But there really are none. The 350Z, just like other cars I have worked on have their own personalities so to speak. Some engines handle more HP while others blow up. I have seen the same mods on two Z's result in different performance numbers.
