Single exhaust = Flames? Why not dual?

Wait a minute, I just read that single exhaust will allow for flames, but dual won't! Is this true? I am running a Bonez race pipe(well, I just ordered it), and I am going to order a N1 dual. So, I can't throw flames w/ this setup? I have to get the N1 single?

I was able to spit flames with nothing more then my RB header and pre-silencer
I am still using the stock cat-back even so I am running dual


also if that still doesn't make you think you can spit with a dual setup here is a picture from someone off the forum

a TRUE dual exhaust(a pipe from each exhaust port to it's own muffler) would probably throw some flames if you had a few othere mods. But a ypipe is what kills your flames. I have seen a few rex's throw flames with Duel N1's; but all of which was either a good size porting or forced induction. So your answer in my opinion is no if you get a duel you won't throw flames.

You should see my 1stgen's flames!!!!

I have a '90 NA with a y-pipe and straight pipe that shoots flames fine . I don't think a y-pipe would have any effect on having them or not. It would only change the direction a little as opposed to having a single. The only thing I could think that will kill flames is the type of muffler(s). I have an HKS cat-back if it matters.

All of you guys that are shooting flames from NAs..... What mods have you done to your cars?

I am upgrading my exhaust in about two weeks, when the check gets to me and I wouldn't mind my car shooting some fire. Not sure what all I would have to do before I can start doing it though. Going w/ a RB dual exhaust header and straight pipes to mufflers.
