Benefits of dual exhaust

[2000SILVERSE3800]

I have a 2000 Se with plans on top swapping sometime in the future would there be any benefit of running duals or would the stock one exit exhaust work just the same? My resonsator is starting to rot so i would possibly be doing the exhaust sometime in the near future so I figured i would ask and see what you guys have to say on single vs duals.

it looks "cool"

[2000SILVERSE3800]

So other than looking cooler it does not provide any other benefit?

[matt5112]

Not really.

As long as the system is sized appropriately then performance should be comparable.

If anything it could technically slow you down due to the extra weight of the pipes and tips that you get. But it won't be noticable really. You might gain 20lbs.

just for your own FYI..if you decide to make your SE to dual exhaust...buy the 2003+ ypipe...if you buy 97-02 it will cost much more

Just keep it single outlet...and make a custom catback...it'll sound better too...my buddy has a setup like that.

3.8 i dunno, but my 3.1 with the stock cat and a glasspack with dual outlets sounds real nice =)

Benefits are that it can sound good or like total s**t.

3800's never sound good, lol.

lol they sound good at idle, anything above that sounds like s***

Okay, I can agree with that

Im for sure going to stay with the single outlet, I have a spare Gt rear bumper so i was going to install but ill just put that on Craigslist to offset some of the cost of my exhaust.
