Apexi N1 dual exhaust for GA16DE-T

himbo · May 5th, 2005, 12:46 AM

i was thinking, i love the Apexi dual canister exhaust, so i figure, it would be awesome to make one for a GA16DE Turbo. i was thinking a 3' turboback, and right after the cat. it would split off in to the two Apexi N-1 NA mufflers. i think it would look kick ass. but is it too big for the motor?

It would work fine, the only issue is pipe routing around the gas tank and over the rear axle. Not my cup of tea but it would work.

my friend makes turbo backs (no joke, he makes them for fun, and only charges for the price of the piping). i'll definitely put the car on a lift and we'll plan it out. if it works, it must sound mean as hell because i've heard the apexi n1 dual canister setup. wicked nice!!!!!

do you think that the piping will be too big?

I am not going to tell you what I think of the overall idea... Honestly if you split the pipe before the rear axle it will hang horribly low! It will probably need to be split after the axle to do this properly, next the N1 is a big muffler, you will want to use at least a 2.5" inlet on the muffler. With that it may be a challenge to mount the muffler on the driver side of the car, I know it can be done but it will take some work.

Lastly there is no such thing as too big on a turbo car.

i beg of you not to do this. just use one.

could you please stop giving bad advice? thanks.

I say only do one. Your not gaining much but laughts. I was never a fan of daul exhaust on Imports, 4 cylinders to narrow it down

thanks wes, as always, your advice is highly appreciated.

i'm going to put it up on a lift and we'll see where it goes. i just thought it would look bad-ass

as for self fornicator, listen man, if you dont appreciate my ideas, then thats fine, but dont go around saying delete this, delete that, if you dont like what i have to say then, dont look my posts or threads. i'm just asking for some common courtesy man. i do the same for others, and i expect it to be
reciprocated

hmmmm.... i figured that because it was a turbo-back it would go in the F/I section, oh well

I want to know who moved this to cosmetic mods.? Just because dual exhaust isn't necessary for performance, it's applicibility on a turbo car does not warrant a post in cosmetic. Turbo or GA16 but not cosmetic. I am moving this BACK to where it was!
