[VZHSV]

[RVN 355]

Ummm how can it do the same? If they did no one would ever buy a twin system.

[johnvtls1]

the twin 2.5 inch is much bigger then the 3 inch. that alone would eaisly get u over the 200rwkw mark

ive spoken to afew people that who have been building engines for over 30 years and from what they have told me twin 2.5 inch doesnt realy flow that muh more than a single 3inch, twin 2.5 inch doesnt = 5 inch of exhaust i have a wrx that went 400hp or 300kw on a single 3 inch system , i belive u can make 350kw on a single 3 inch system before u will need to go bigger

Nice...get much attention from cops?

[[TOPGEAR]]

going single 3" because i have it sitting here. $1000 on a twin exhaust can be spent on my manifold instead or paint or rims. could be spent better on lots of other things but the exhaust can wait if needed. not running cats either so its got a bit more flow. made just a tad under 200rwkw with a 3" in my ute. so should be alright on the vn.

engine was in this...........

Agree about the 3" cost vs twin, i'm goin 3" though because i have a wagon so no twin for me.
