It's a single, but I would be leary of the 11hp claimed loss. I'm sure Matt can back that up as well. I have the exhaust and the car felt stronger the day I put it on as well as 2000 miles later. No loss here.
PS Please make it part of the test

How about the Apexi WS exhaust
Hey guys,
I received a Apexi WS Exhaust from Apex's R&D team. We traded for Vertex sides. I don't know if they're going to be producing this exhaust here in the U.S. The exhaust sounds awesome, and feels like I picked up power after a couple days of driving. Does it take a new exhaust system that long to adjust the computer? Who knows, it might be my imagination.

350Z Concept Exhaust
Hey guys,
I was playing Midnight Club 2 on PS2 with my little bro [have to try to be a good big brother since my other brother passed on
] and also took another look at the Motor Trend with the proto 350Z and I just keep falling in love with the dual center pipes 
! The reason I mentioned the PS2 game is that they have a 350Z with a body kit and the dual center exhaust and it looks mean! The game has the tips with more of a square look to them (which IMHO looks a bit better than the real concept exhaust). I know some of you may or may not like them but, I wish some company out there would make them for I would be in line to purchase them (along with a different back bumper that would accentuate the pipes)...and if they gained say...10-15 rwhp it would be nice
Just my $0.02

The issue will be shipped in late August and should start arriving in mailboxes in early September. It'll have all of our 350Z exhaust test results including the dyno charts. Other 350Z articles include a review of the Stillen SMZ, the new Roadster, and other news and notes. Right now we have over 15 pages budgeted for the 350Z in our Fall 2003 issue.

Wow I'm suprised someone brought up a post for something we did such a long time ago. I really don't think we would have that much difference in terms of the new exhaust for numbers. Doing this test took a lot of effort and nights without sleep making sure we got everything right
Its good to see people appreciated the article thanks guys
