Default POLL Single or Dual Exhaust Input and Pics Please??

I am still trying to decide which way to go, I was wondering if you guys could could help is there any HP difference between the two, do the duals sound better than the singles? Any input would help and pics would be greatly appreciated.

Are you planning on going FI in the future or staying NA?
If going with a Single Turbo Kit eventually you will be slightly limited with your exhaust choices.

Was seriously considering doing a turbo or sc but my wife and I decided we need a bigger house, so no high dollar purchases are in my future for a little while. We live in a townhouse and we are now looking for a single home with a garage for my baby, Juanita is her name!

i got a single and I love it. I am NA also and don't plan on going FI. I love the sound and I love the look of it cause there are a bunch of Z's around here and no one else has it.

Power wise it screams up top. lower end might have lost a little but i can't really tell cause i need a new clutch and am about to get the reflash shortly so it should tie everything together.

Also...the first pic it looks like my car is jack up in the back for some reason. I don't really need a drop though...just a really wierd camera angle and i got a bunch of white crap up in my wheel hub so it really accentuates the gap that is there. The rear is s 275/30/19....need to up that beeatch to a 35 or 40 if possible.

Well...luckily everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It looks awesome in person. Thats the beauty of modding cars...they are all gonna look different.

I like the dual look, but I wouldn't mind getting the weight savings of a single. I believe Rickdogg's JIC single exhaust is about 10 lbs.
But then again, my HKS is just pure music to my ears!!

All V-motors deserve dual exhaust. Two exhaust manifolds, two resonators and two mufflers. Symmetry. That's the way the Z-Gods intended it to be. Mess with the Z-Gods and you will pay dearly.

If your staying NA then your choices are pretty much wide open. Personally, I like the dual-tips better, which can be had with either a true-dual setup such as Injen SES, Borla or HKS or you can go with a single pipe into one muffler with dual tips (same configuration as stock) or single pipe into dual mufflers.

Power wise, not a whole lot of difference in a NA application but, True Duals do tend to flow better.

Better sounding? That is really a personal preference thing. There's a bunch of sound clips here to help you out with that.

https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/152824-giganto-list-of-all-exhaust-sound-clips-pics-member-pics-sticky.html

Let me know if I can help you out more or if you need some prices, we can get almost any of the exhausts that are available for the Z.

Thanks,
Gary

I prefer dual because it looks great plus the bumper has two goddamn cutouts not one.
