Single or Dual exhaust?

Turbos dont use the same principles as n/a's. You cannot go too big for hp, the only limiting factor on size is the diminishing returns. For a turbo, just make sure it flows well, thats all that matters. 3" single, or if you want it quieter, have a y pipe, and run duals.

If you are looking for big gains look for a downpipe/presilencer combo. Catback's do not give that big of a gain. You could always go for the 3inch turbo back systems out there but those are expensive.

Like said above, the cat back will give you decent gains but if you go to a downpipe and 3" from the turbo back you'll see a greater return. Make sure you do the necessary mods to offset the new parts (wastegate etc.)

Wouldn't there be more air flow and it won't get as hot as quick as a single would.Is single better for a Turbo II?
The three most important issues are cost, noise and appearance. Dual costs more, single is noisier and which looks better is entirely up to the individual.

And IMO, unless you get the second half circle filled in, duals look better on an FC.

It's really a non-issue. A dual system adds ~20lbs compared to a single, which is less than 1% of the car's total weight. You'll never notice that.
there aren't too many things you can pull out of a car that weighs over 20lbs by itself.
you're right, 20lbs isn't even a percent of your cars weight, but if you can strip your car as much as you can and save weight wherever you can, you can easily achieve a 200lb loss, which is nearly 10%.

Well, I think the factory dual exhaust was merely for appearance. The CS Single drops 36lbs off of the car, too bad it dosent exit the passenger side though. I forget the formula, but there is a way to find out how big of a dual exhaust you would need to equal the flow of a single exhaust. If you're looking for a quiet exhaust, get a Racing Beat Dual exhaust though.
