Single Exhaust
I was trying to see if there way anyone who has messed around with a single exhaust system on their 2IS. Main reason I ask is because from my understanding there isn't a real benefit for V6 engines to have dual exhaust since the pulses aren't overlapping as much as they are on a V8 using an X pipe and a single exhaust should provide better scavaging for a V6. I was thinking joining the two pipes with a Y to a single 3" should be sufficient. I found one person who did it to his IS350, but it was a long time ago, had a custom rear lip for the single outlet too, I think the posts I found were him selling the car, lol.
I know most guys on here wouldn't do it since dual tips look nicer. but just wasn't sure if anyone else has done it yet.
Maybe something like the Nismo S-Tuned cat back system that's on the 350Z?

Actually the Nismo 370Z exhaust looks like this.
I ran a dual system on my G35 Coupe. The system was an Invidia, and was a true dual with no "X" or "H" pipe. At idle it sounded truly awful. I added an "H" pipe to it which smoothed out the exhaust pulses and it sounded much better. I had full headers on that car, and the exhaust plus headers proved to be money well spent as proven by my dyno sheets.

Badx33 nice, got any sound clips of it?
No way he had titanium piping, I think you mean his titanium muffler tip and carbon fiber body of the muffler. No one really welds titanium, it's very expensive.
Yea, true duals on a V6 isn't that great. And I showed a pic of the 350Z Nismo S-tuned kit, not 370Z.
edit: just realized the guy who had the single exhaust a while back was windex.

Unislay, thanks I will check it out.
Gville, jeez wonder how much that cost
Edit, just checked them out, 4 to 5 k, crazy, but the subie one is only 2k lol. The one for the gtr is done up as a single also since it's a v6 and the isf is done up like true dual since it's a V8.
