Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 15y 10d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 30/05/11 02:49 AM Share Posted 30/05/11 02:49 AM (edited) I only did it for looks but I'm happy. I can't tell the difference performance wise.Your car is the best looking one I've seen mate. If they were going to make them factory - that's how it would look. CES went to a lot of trouble on a customers car to try and get it to flow as well as their 3.5" single. This included muffler swaps, different tube diameters, etc. Their preference was actually to make a 'fake one' done in a way so nobody would really notice (unless under the car) so the owner would get the required look and the best flow possible. However, the owner wanted it to work so they made it up. They have done back to back dyno comparisons (they have their own) and a quad system loses 12rwkw minimum over a 3.5" single. Still an improvement over the stock zorst but it actually costs you more (to do a quad) over their awesome system, to lose horsepower . I get why people like the look and how it balances the appearance of the rear but too bigger price IMO -especially if you're planning to mod.

There's a guy there with a Mazda MPS like I had- I pinched heaps of ideas from him lol. I wouldn't do a fake tip as over time one will discolour and look retarded. -My mods get fitted in a few weeks. I'll let people know how annoying the exhaust becomes.

Only looks retarded once discoloured.... ok then Mate you car is a class act - we're all allowed one screw up, lol. Just make this your only one - he he, my bad!Bomber promise - no more bagging quads, everybody gets it already! I'm sure the tune will go well and all said, if everybody went the same look it would be pretty damn boring mate Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69316-convert-to-twin-exhaust-setup/page/2/#findComment-1110113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you should be saying is that a 3.5 inch system might, depending on the vehicle, give a standard car 12kw more if fitted to a standard system than what a rear Quad system will. A quad system on a standard car will not rob 12 kw, and you can lose 12 kw on a hot day due to temperature and air quality. At the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference. I put them on mine for looks and picked up 4rwkw on the same dyno, and in my opinion any BA BF or FG looks a lot better with the rear balanced by Quads.

Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 3m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/05/11 09:58 AM Share Posted 31/05/11 09:58 AM Hi,I have a 12/2007 BF MKII 6T...given the build date it has the silver inserts on the spoilers...I likethe appearance BUT it only supports a single exhaust...what options do I have to maintain the current"stock" look that supports the twin exhaust setup...I guess I could always use a hacksaw... Any advice on my options...cost...and business in Adelaide that can make the modification would be veryappreciated...thanks... Mate I'd happily sell you my quad set up as I want to return to single only as where I'm going with my power it will hold me back. Though not sure if the FG quad is the same set up as the BF!

I don't think you got the comparison mate. Nothing to do with air, heat soak, etc. Same dump and cat used. The difference was purely quads vs single. Everybody knows they rob power over a single - thems the facts. If you fit them it's purely from a cosmetic point of view - the performance argument is pointless.
