Dual exhausts today - 11/11/21
I remember a thread on this a while back but I couldn't find it using the search feature. Probably over a year old.
.
In the past few years there are a lot more cars and trucks showing dual exhausts then there used to be. Back in the day if you saw a vehicle with dual exhausts it was assumed to have a higher performance engine or at least a four barrel carb as dual exhausts were supposed to reduce "back pressure" which helped engine breathing, enhancing performance. Anyone have an idea as to how many of the vehicles showing dual exhausts today actually have real duals or are most of them just using a cross over pipe that gives the appearance of duals but is not actually coming off the exhaust manifold?
Got to admit I like the look but do dual exhausts on passenger vehicles make much difference performance wise?
