I've seen just one on a supra doing 22psi producing 1000 hp. Two is just overkill, more for looks and symmetrical reasons...
I have a single and love it. I was going to do dual but not my cup of tea.
Great job though!

Do you have a built block low CR running >15psi?
If you did , then a dual 3" is the safer way to go on the Z/G.

So far with the new exhaust and the PE radiator the temp gauge stayed pegged to the one or two ticks below the half way mark......Gman (knocks on wood)

The total for stainless steel with the mufflers would have been $1475.00.

Do you guys have any braces/mounts by the front?
The reason I ask is, my buddy's manifolds cracked from the pressure of the exhaust hanging on the turbos. We fixed the problem with some flex pipes.
Anyways, I'm jealous now. Just another mod to waste money on.
