I have a RacingBeat header and presilencer and the cheap Apex mufflers you can buy anywhere.I want more performance from my exhaust. Will I get more horsepower if I do a single outlet from the presilencer?

If your using your stock Y-pipe (NA), and switch over to a 3" single exhaust then your answer is YES. The stock Y-pipe is very constricting considering it has 2" collector splitting off to two 1.75" pipes. If you want better flow the 3" single will do the trick but beware of the DRONE LOUDNESS. You'll probably generate about 115 Dbs! If you want performance with out Loud *** exhaust. Then try RB catback.

The problem here in New York is that there is O tolerence on loud pipes so I got to compromise HP over noise so I've been doing trial and error tests on different exhausts but it's quickly becoming expensive. Thanks for your input guys.

is there a Db level that you have to remain below or is it anything louder than a stock system?

Do listen to anybody who says "single flows better no matter what"; these people know nothing...

Well i went with the header to a borla presilencer to 3 inches back to an apexi muffler, single exhaust has its advantage b/c it is lighter, i dont know if the tru dual is more powerful b/c i dont have the time or money to dyno and swap parts. I forewarn you if you go with a setup like mine it is extremely loud. I bought a silencer that goes into the muffler and that helps a lot. So if you do go with get a silencer for the muffler.

man this has been covered 3 times since i've been here. Collected headers have significant advantages over true dual exhausts. Im not sure why they even make true dual exhausts for the FCs as the collected headers give better performance.

Hey i didnt say that there is awesome gains from it being lighter, all i was stateing is that it is an advantage and it all adds up when you do a little bit of reduction here and there.
