Im gettin ready to do the exhaust on my 88 turbo coupe and i am wonderin what everyone is doin. i want to ditch my converter for starters and i know i want dual's for sure. Ive seen stingers exhaust systems for sale. Is anyone running that?
I have read alot of good things about Stingers exhaust, but I personaly have yet to try one.
I run 2.5 back to a hooker aero chamber ler with a turn dom just before the rear
no matter what ler you go with , make sure its a blow thu and not a baffle style.
flow masters are a no no for turbo apps
I prefer a single 3", with a tail pipe.
I've got a Stinger tail pipe, but I needed to make a couple adjustments to it for my set-up, as well as add a tip to extend it to the bumper.
can you tell me why? I run dual 40's with no ill affects
simple, baffles rob you of HP, by causing back pressure, they slow the spool time of the turbo
Its a more than well known fact that baffled lers are the worst thing you can put on a turbo car. You might *think* you've seen no ill effects until you take them off or put good lers on.
Oh and flowmasters are usually the worst in flow tests.
Ironic, huh?
One question, do 4 cylinder cars really benefit much from dual exhaust? It seems kinda unnecessary to separate the exhaust after the manifold. It makes sense to have dual exhaust on a V engine, but on an inline it seems like it wouldn't be improving much. A larger, single exhaust seems like it would be better.
you get more restriction with duals than you do with a good single exhaust, more surface area that the exhaust has to pass over.
2 2inch exhaust pipes have more surface area on the inside than a single 3 inch would have
but the 87/88 tc came from the factory with it, it was split after the cat.
cause it looked cool man:hick:
Yeah looked so cool all tucked up and hidden...lol
so many choices . so many
My understanding is Stinger's single 3 inch pipe is the best flowing option, it is also cheaper and lighter than splitting it into the 2.5 duals.
i like the look of the LX 5.0 mustang exhaust tips, i want to copy that for my t bird .
