Just wanted to open a discussion on what you guys think about putting a dual exhaust on the yaris...because when you put a new exhaust on our cars its manly for looks bcuz you arent gonna get much new power out of it why keep the single and not get the dual?

well for one it's going to be very hard to fit the piping... Sedan may be OK, but for the hatchback, it'll be very restrictive.

And without a properly notched rear lip, it's just gonna look weird with two cans hanging out below the bumper. But that's just my opinion :wink:

I will never mess with the stock exaust again.. I did a custom catback on my old car and after 2 years it started to fall apart and I had to reweld stuff. rigth before I traded it in I was sure that it was just about to fall apart... no thanks!

Real duel exhaust on a 4 cylinder?

That mean 2 Cylinders go to one outlet...
and the other 2 Cylinders go to a different outlet...

Seems a bit silly to me, but hey... whatever you’re into!

A big dual can setup like the hundreds listed on eBay, just are too big and silly looking for our rear bumpers... now show me a dual outlet, centered under the bumper, and you got something! Something Cooper S ish. :smile:

I know someone who did this to fit an M3 system under their 325 coupe a few years ago. Very professional job, but now a days, its way easier to copy the M3 look for the coupes/sedans.

If you are just mounting a 2nd non working Exhaust pipe... then what ever you want man... Cool...

But if you are planning on actually doing a REAL Duel... I think you will actually loose performance... or at least there will be VERY little Exhaust Pressure... the car will bearly move! And I can't let that happen... You'll give us Yarites a bad Name!

No such thing. You wouldnt split the header into two parts (2 cylinders each), to run down into two seperate mufflers. On V8's for example, this is done, but just before the mufflers is either an X pipe or H pipe. On a V engine you have two seperate headers, two banks of cylinders... this wouldnt apply to our lil sewing machines. :thumbsup:

Bad idea.

If you went true dual exhaust and had a header custom made to 4-2 split, you would have to figure out how to trick the O2 sensors into thinking that your two pipes are actually one pipe, which means you would be messing with the computer....bad idea, and would most likely hurt performance. Contrary to what most people think, to run effectively and still gain HP, you need SOME back pressure, and true dual exhaust would not provide any back pressure.

If you are going for looks, then go for it, but be prepared to loose more HP than what you have just stock. Spliting the exhaust does the same thing as going from 2" piping down to 1" piping then back up to a 2" muffler...it hurts exhaust velocity.

There is more to exhaust performance than just back pressure, back pressure is a big facter, but exhaust velocity plays a big factor as well. When you split the flow or change tubing sizes, it slows the exhausts escape from the header. It creates a bottle neck effect, slowing the exhausts escape. What this means is, the more you split the flow or go from big to small then back again, the slower the exhaust, the less the performance.

While the dual exhaust makes more back pressure, that can be remedied by larger pipe from the cat back...however, there is no way to fix the velocity issue. So, in what I have seen from dyno results, expect a few HP decrease from stock after you put on the dual exhaust.

If you want performance and looks, mount another muffler to it, and run the tubing back, just dont hook up the tubing to the primary exhaust. No one will ever know, and even when you tie the dual exhausts together, the exhaust always finds the easy way out, and normally goes through only one of the mufflers anyway, so on cold days even when they are tied you will see only one pipe blowing smoke as it is, so why not do the fake dual exhaust.

P.S. In my humble opinion, duals on 4cyl's make me laugh...dual only looks cool on muscle cars and other V powered machines. Sounds like sh-t and is pointless on inline cars.

Side dump exhaust? As tested in car and driver that had the best performance increase and the best back pressure and exhaust velocity of several set ups that they tested.

Be prepared for lots of noise violation tickets though!

Back on track for the thread...dual exhaust...looks cool to some, hurts performance...even over stock exhaust...

I think the original idea is to have a second pipe branch out at the back of the car, or a shared muffler or something, not a full twin pipe all the way to the header... That would be pretty pointless... Although it may give a bit of a subaru-ish rumble as the exhaust alternates between left and right?

Or you can do what I've seen on so many M5 wannabe 5 series here, just have the exhaust tip welded onto a bracket attached to the bumper. :biggrin:

As for dual exhausts being stupid on 4-cylinder cars, Mercedes Benz is happy enough to do it with their 1.8 liter SLK200s... OK, sure, they're supercharged, but it's all about the pimpin' style...

Chris07LB
04-03-2007, 10:51 AM
We were talking about how on a 4cylinder, you wouldnt split the single header into two, and run a muffler for each pair (two) of cylinders.

Nothing wrong with bringing the piping straight back as is now, and dumping into a dual muffler, no matter how it splits... center together in bumper... offset on each side of bumper... etc.

At the end of the "must read" he says...

"So the loss in torque has nothing to do with backpressure and everything to do with gas velocity."

That statement made me laugh. Gas pressure and gas velocity are codependent. Although he does a great job explaining scavenging, I'd take it with a grain of salt. He left out the simple high school physics. :laugh: It is still a good read though. I just don't think its all scavenging, just like I don't think its all backpressure. It is a combination of these and many more factors that determines the efficiency of an exhaust system.

Ok, backpressure and exhaust velocity both add to decreased HP...they both affect eachother but are indipendant. Back pressure is how much restriction there is in the pipes, it measures how much it takes to get the exhaust through the tubes. Exhaust Velocity is how fast the gasses move through the tubes.

While low back pressure is good for horse power, there needs to be a little bit there or most of the computers in newer vehichles do not adjust properly to the changes in pressure.

Exhaust velocity is what is affected most by splitting the exhaust. you can get 4" piping all the way back to the mufflers and 4" mufflers, and you will have no back pressure, but on the other hand, because you split the exhaust flow your exhaust velocity goes down.

It has been proven on the dyno...single vs dual exhaust on 4cyl cars...single wins every time.

If you want dual exhaust, more power to you! Just keep in mind you are sacrificing performance for style.

Yes steve, dual exhaust will work with a turbo...heck, it will work with anything...But with a turbo you would notice even more power gains with a single exhaust set up.

P.S. maybe I do need more drugs so it will help me when I try to explain stuff that I only think I know about.

It seems to me that due to laminar flow, two smaller pipes with the same cross sectional area as one larger pipe would infact have higher gas velocity (this can be seen when solving the Reynold's Number equation for mean velocity and using an Re of 2300 it can be seen that L, or "characteristic Length"... in this case, the diatmeter of the pipe, will result in an smaller laminar flow value). Also, if they were fused/jointed correctly, they could be as uinrestrictive as well. In addition, scavenging effect (effectively having a wave of low pressure interlope its way back into the combustion chamber that aides the successive induction charge) is more pronounced on smaller diameter pipes...

/This being said, I think that twin exhaust would look kinda dirty...

No... you are actually probably correct... hence my "Also, if they were fused/jointed correctly" statement...

The real trick would be point of fusion between the two pipes, this is for sure.

Well I'm not thinking of running two pipes off the engine, just the standard single one, but splitting it in two at the axleback level. Although, what I think would be an ultimate setup is to have one performance-oriented, noisy exhaust on one side, and a quiet one on the other, and switching between the two with some kind of butterfly valve at the junction :biggrin: I think Porsches and other high performance cars use an automated setup similar to this to pass noise regulations...

But anyway this is just a silly concept at the moment!
