Mustang owners don't realize that there cars weigh 3700 pounds....compared to 2600-2800 for an FC.

Again it's not all about horsepower, and paying $1,000 for a turbo or turbo engine is retarded. We are talking about the difference between a single and true duel exhaust. I vote for true duel!

Ill back you on that, half of my extended redneck family have mustangs, i have driven most of them, you try to take a corner over 40mph, and your gonna be pushin hard into the other lane, but dont listen to us, just get that 7 runnin, and you will see for urself.

I've got an N/A and I've taken down:

5.0L stang
a few 4.6L
countless V6 stangs (just like "CiBiCZ," they're everyhwere)
monte carlo with racing prep
V6 camaros (never raced a V8 camaro before)

Jesus christ how did a single vs. dual exhaust come to this? sheesh

AbecX, sorry, but V6 stangs ARE really, really slow. they're underpowered boats. Even a real VTEC Integra will own a V6 stang. Hell, i bet a protege will take down a V6 stang too. :P:

--193 horsepower and 3429 lbs AINT GOING ANYWHERE FAST!

true dual is the way to go

thank u rxspd, i was waiting for some backup on this topic. Abec, i didn't know your rx didn't work, if i had known i wouldn't have even wasted my time, drive it and love it, do u even know what u are missing. rx7's are amazing cars.

AbecX

Your a moron. Mustangs weigh in at 3200 lbs, even the 99+'s do.

And its true DUAL. $1000 for a turbo engine is not retarded, but claiming you can beat a car that has over twice the amount of torque and horsepower you do stock is preposterous. Some of you people think street racing is the end all be all. Post up some of your 13 second time slips in your stock n/a cars, then I'll believe you when you say you can beat a stock mustang.

I never said my car was stock

N/A RX-7's are in E Stock.

Did you bother reading the post before you even started replying? Do you even know what Solo 2 is? I am running in a stock class. The only 2 mods you can do to make your car faster (in a straight line that is) are a filter that drops into the stock air box, and modification of the exhaust after the catalytic converter. Why would I bother spending money on something that will give me some more power on the straight aways when it would make my car illegal to run in my class. By the way, 10 rwhp would be a great gain from an exhaust system, and I would be happy to pay $400 for 10 rwhp while still keeping it legal.

Horsepower is one of the least important things in autocrossing. Yesterday I watched a stock 88 Civic run faster times than 98% of the cars out there. This included several Corvettes, a Dodge Viper, several Camaro Z28's and an SS, and a Porsche Boxter. By the way, there wasn't a single Mustang out there yesterday. I wonder why that is? It's because it doesn't matter how fast your car is. It matters more how well it handles, and how good of a driver you are. I would bet money I could hand you and your 300 hp Mustang your *** on an autocross course in my Stock N/A RX-7. If you live anywhere near Texas, you can take me up on that offer.

no fighting here! >

I think single would be better, since it'll save you some weight.

naw junior, I think u have it wrong, at the very least you are a moron, no one here said that a stock na runs 13's, if you read other posts completely before reacting you would see that on page 1 someone lists the stock et at high 15's. As well, no one said that we were running on a drag strip, i believe every one said they beat them in a race, A win is a Win no matter what. btw, horsepower to weight ratio is a lot more important in even straight line racing than straight out horsepower, a locomotive probably has a few thousand hp, but i think i could beat it in a race, don't you.

Hey, AbecX, I read in another post that you live in Mesquite. I live in Denton, so we can make this little challenge happen if you want to.

There are two autocrosses coming up in July. One on the 21st and one on the 28th. Both of them are at Pennington Field in Bedford. Not too far of a drive from you.

You should come out and see some performance machines that were built for more than just going fast in a straight line. It might open your eyes to something other than just drag racing. I gaurantee you will love it.

And the offer still stands. We can go for money or just for fun. Let me know if you can make it.

Anyone else who wants to come out and autocross most definately should. If your in the Dallas area, come and check it out.

Ziggy682

Hehe, check out this website I found. Scroll down the page until you get to number 75. This is AbecX himself running a "Fast" 1999 V6 Mustang. He ran a 16.323 @ 83.96. With a 2.483 60 ft. time with a RT of 1.045. Man those V6 Mustangs are damn fast, just like you said.

Here's the link, and you can even look at his timeslip.

AbexC just lost his credibility about "Driver Ability"

Takes a LOT of ability to drag race a V6 w/ an automatic transmission.

If anyone who owns a running, non-vert, non-auto RX-7 can't beat your "fast" time... they should be shot.



Now, BACK TO THE TOPIC!


Which makes more Power? From my understanding, the Single Exhaust makes more low/mid range power. The TRUE Dual makes more top end ( By true dual, I mean road race header, 2 pipes, all the way back. )

Which is louder.... Single.... No questions

Which sounds better? Matter of opinion. They sound pretty close to the same, but the Single's just louder.

Who makes a bigger Y-pipe? Who cares? If you're not running dual all the way back, go single.

Ziggy682

Thanks for the input Liquid Anarchy. Since this is my daily driver and weekend autocross car, I don't want it to be too loud. But, I think I'll go with a single to save a little weight since I already have the lightest FC ever made. Since I have to run stock exhaust manifold and catalytic converter, I don't think it will be too obnoxiously loud.
