What'll duals run off of a 1.0 sound like? I don't like loud exhaust but I do like the low rumble of a well tuned exhaust (and, oddly enough, the chirp of a stock VW). I'm afraid duals on my Kadett might end up sounding like a lawn mower on steroids (very weak steroids).

It will likely have the classic import "elephant fart" sound. In the case of dual exhaust you'll get twin elephants farting simultaneously. :D

duel exhaust

My GT has dual Ansa used by ferrari exhaust on it im curious to hear what it will sound like!.
I bought a Kadett wagon at an auction once, it had the two pipes spit off the headpipe and ran thru two mufflers and tailpipes out in front of the rear tires. Sounded kinda sporty, but it had absolutely no bottom end at all and was a real bear to drive in city stop and go traffic. Because of the lack of torque, I wound up putting the system back to a single muffler (glasspack) off the stock headpipe with a single tailpipe and resonator tip(Ansa) much better low end power and still sounded sporty.

I think if you ran single from each exhaust port it would make an interesting sound. Leave your power somewhere at the exhaust shop but hey if it sounds like it's going to explode or miss you get to rebuild it and try for an even odder sound. how about glass packs on the odd cylinders and straight through on the others?:bs2: Ya it's technical

Adding an extra pipe would do the same thing to performance as upgrading the pipe size. With a car with an already low torque/HP.. you would just be robbing what little it has left. IMO.. don't do it. Plus with lots of airflow, you get barely any sound. I learned that putting an exhaust on my truck. The larger the pipe, the deeper yet quieter the sound. With a smaller pipe, you get a louder sound, but higher pitched.
