Edit: Not saying you found it offensive just backing up my intent before a problem occurs so we don't fight this out over three pages and kill the thread. Also i like the v-band idea for swapping out exhaust components might have to do that with my mufflers(for that stupid-loudness) Edit2: Is it okay to give rep for being able to take a joke and not starting a big internet argument?

Because of the uneven firing order of the cylinders in a V6 like ours, we don't really need crossover pipes. The idea is that there aren't any exhaust pulses arriving into the exhaust at the same time and therefore we don't have a flow obstruction issues. At the same time, crossovers have been shown to increase the efficiency of V6's and make more power..as long as the crossover happens at the correct distance from the headers. Placing it too far or too close is actually detrimental. So you can get away with having a single exhaust, just as long as you have equal length headers.

Remember, this is a race car project and weight does become a factor over looks. To be honest, the car sounds much better in person and on the track. We've heard nothing but positive responses regarding that. That being said, as the car owner, I do like the other posters idea of a square exit and his diffuser. We haven't had the car that long and Robi has been working his *** off getting it ready for not only SEMA but for competition as well. I can only push him so hard
The exhaust is not 100% finished. We'll clean it up and shave some more weight. Also, if it's not functional it won't be on my car. We appreciate the comments and suggestions/ideas so please, keep 'em coming ![]() Z06stan Last edited by Bluemeanie; 11-21-2009 at 10:42 AM. |

would there be a simple way to push the center exhaust through the rear fog light hole and create a carbon layover that hides the dual exhaust cutouts and surrounds the center tip exit?

Oooh that would be all kinds of sexy for the US market. But yeah, would definitely be some custom work, or copy something like the newer Camaro. Granted, it would really get away from the racing aspect of having it but also sell to a more image driven consumer.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...7&d=1225846942 Or a Rounded Edge Trapezoid Tip w/e a CF insert to cover the edges of the fog http://www.mufflermall.com/images/mufflers/62_1107.jpg And there's another I found but the pic is a dead link However, here's a link to a fany thread I saw that might interest some alternative thinking. (The motor cycle, first lambo, and Bugati are the ones I like but I'm biased) MotiveMag Forums: Center exit exhausts.... |

because single exhausts save weight especially here where it's a race car application, it can be argued that it provides better flow as well which is really important in TT appications

I'd sacrifice a lb or two or even a HP or TWO with a cool exhaust exit like the above.
Case in point...Streetbikes. Some went to undertail exhausts and some went back to the stubby side pipes. Undertail looks 1000 times cooler, like a ducati.
