My aveo has a body kit with the dual exhaust look....
i was wondering if it would give me any more power by hooking up both of the tips to a dual exhaust system.

It'll be difficult to gain anything with a 4 cyl and dual exhaust. You could use the single exhaust and get a muffler with dual tips (e.g. Magnaflow #11148) and run it out to each side. If you do run a split exhaust, you need to preserve the area of the single pipe and match it to the dual pipes after the split. E.g you have a 2" single, which gives ~3.14" area. You want to split that into 2 pipes that have 1.57" area each, e.g. two 1.4" pipes. |

Ok better question....would i loose any power by hooking up dual exhaust. Like I said, if you don't match the exhaust area, then yes, you can. If you go too small after the split, you *might* gain somelow end torque but the high end flow will suffer. Go too big and the reverse happens. I don't think there's an easy way of saying or guestimating. You sort of have to try something, dyno it before and after, and go from there. |

either that or get the dual exhaust and get a camgrind to improve torque

The 2003 opel vectra concept was a 1.9l i4 twin turbo. Of course it was never put into production, though.
It was a diesel motor and still put out 210hp.

OT- Turbo diesels are generally more reliable than gasoline due to the lower exhaust gas temps in diesel. But yeah, if you had the $$, I'm sure you could put together a twin turbo in series for some serious boost. You'd probably have to swap out the plastic manifold, probably wouldn't need the variable geometry intake, but would need forged internals, perhaps a bit lower compression and a lot of tuning... Get on it!  |
