Any exhaust whether it be a true dual or single can yield good gains, I prefer the dual myself. I just don't think the z looks right with a single on it on most cars.

Are you kidding? The supra is a straight 6, so it makes more sense to do a single on it.
I think you need to review my reply a bit more carefully before you bring out the "garbage" crap. Ok, let me make things a little simpler for you to understand. I said, "from my experience". If you don't understand when someone said from their experience does not represent the entire collective, then you have a huge comprehension problem. I rest my case...

You're 'experience' is based on a butt dyno, which in the case of an exhaust is useless. You have a better chance of your 'gains' coming from the placebo effect. Nice attempt at being condescending though.

LOL, bro, stop trying to explain yourself with the 'butt dyno' rebuttal. If you've driven your Z long enough, you sure can tell the difference; and thats a fact. If you do not agree with what i have to say then move on. Oh, by the way, if you really have read thoroughly, i never mentioned anything about butt dyno. Again, your reading comprehension owns you, the second time....

Just going to point this out whenever someone comments about how 3inches is to large.

First off, I've driven my z plenty 'bro'. When it comes to exhausts I don't believe any of the 'it felt faster' bs. Especially when you are talking about going from one after market exhaust to another, where the gains/losses will be absolutely minimal. If that's what you think more power to you, but don't go spouting off that one way is better than the other because it 'felt' better to you. I am going off real world experience, where someone thought their car was faster, only to be kicked in the nuts after dynoing their car to see it did jack. My car put down 14 more rwhp than stock with my exhaust, and the only thing I noticed was it was smoother.

"Bro", there is something called mutual respect. We are all enthusiast sharing the same passion. No need to argue over which is better. I completely respect your opinion, you should be able to reciprocate the same back.

Go check to see who insulted who first. I said butt dynos are crap, and in 99% of small mods they are. You simply wont feel a few hp change, especially going from an HKS Ti to a Single. If you do it's probably a result of the placebo effect. I also stated there will be very little difference in performance between single and dual exhausts. They will yield the same gains if designed properly. This is especially true going from dual to single on an n/a 350. I never said you are dumb for buying a single, but they aren't my cup of tea. I was just trying to make the point there really is no difference minus a few pounds and looks on single vs. dual.

"This 'feeling' of the seat of the pants crap is a bunch of garbage. " So, tell me Einstein, does that sound like an insult? Need i remind you that the sentence above was your first reply to my post. Do you honestly think that the sentence was not an insult? So your telling us that if people do not have the share the same belief as you, you bash them? At what time did I insult your post? There is no need to argue with people who does not respect other's opinion.
