I was wondering what the reasoning is behind switching to a single exhaust on a S2 is. Is that specifically for turbo or does it help out with all motor. I am planning to go all motor and am looking for a exhaust but I wanted to figure out which is best before I purchase anything. Thanks

 

Flows better/lighter.

 

Also most of the singles sound nicer than most duals (but also louder)

While this is subjective, it is louder. Reason being, the exhaust gases are not channelled nor diverted very far off of their path. There's also only one muffler instead of two. So, you have the same amount of gases going out one muffler and one pipe instead of being Y'ed out into two, which diffuses the noise.

 

also part of it has to do with the theory that dual exhaust is pretty much overkill for a 2.0 four cylinder, and done only for looks.

 

Any big differences in terms of whp between dual and single? i haven't found much in terms of dyno charts

 

why dual? u have a header that runs into one primary, and then flow is restricted as the exhaust stream is cut in 2.

either run a 4-2 header and run pairs to the tail or one exhaust

 

the f20c only has one engine bank -&gt; one exhaust manifold therefore a single is more suitable. duals are only for looks, no performance at all. dual's sold for this car are not true duals, they are y-pipes...meaing the piping it split from a single to dual after the catalytic convertor.


single = maximum performance and weight savings...looks are subjective but i love the look of a single.

 

i don't mind the look of the single at all. i am looking to see if i can get an extra 1-2whp if i go single instead of dual

 

single is definitely the way to go, with less weight( the original weight something like 25KG) a single exhaust should weight around half of that, The T1R cat-back for s2000 produces something like a 12 whp gains, i had that picture of the dyno chart somewhere, let me find it and post it up.

 

don't expect too many gains on a slightly modified s2000 even running a standalone tunable ecu. Exhausts for this car are most notable for their looks and sound as well as weight.

 

S2000 are not v6 or v8.. why have dual's..... BTW I have a Veilside Ti exhaust for sale... only 6.5 pounds...... $550

+8-12 hp is pretty damn good with a quality exhaust system(on a stock/semi-stock s2000).

got any dyno chart i can see or a link...12whp is like

 

they look better i hope they make single catback exhaust systems for the tsx

4cyl. cars with dual mufflers is stupid and pointless.

I have a hard time finding a reason for dual exhaust ASIDE from looks.

The car does have two holes for exhausts on its rear bumper however,
so having a single does look a bit awkward sometimes(ok alot of times).

Yeah that's what i was thinking the whole time. I wouldnt be able to stand it...having a single on either side of your rear end...and then having an open sapce which is curve another pipe...
But that's just me i guess...you could always fiberglass it smoothe!

 

there is a solution for that open space guys .... http://www.ricks2k.com/products/ztec.php

cool

 

u gotta be kidding me! 130 + sh....for a mere cover?? no thanks...fg would do the job. Nice find though for those of you who can't really do fiber glassing...

 

So the S2K Mugen and Amuse dual exhausts are just for looks?

Somehow I don't think so.

 

they reduce weight and give a lil hp

 

a 4cylidner with hondas doesnt make no way near the back pressure that is restricted by a single exhaust.

 

Honda only used a dual for asethetic appeal.
