as above. does anyone run twin bike silencers on a kit car instead of the standard single stainless? and what would be the effect on noise? would it be a4-1-2 or just 4-2? cheers

I've thought about doing it, do you think it would look ok or a bit odd?

It does look a bit odd but in a good way. There have been some pics of twin silencer cars on here before

I have twin bike chimneys but again, on a V6. The original ones were ear-bleedingly loud and the current ones are standard R1 cans and make the car sound like a three cylinder when your stood next to it. From behind it sounds OK.
I intend to fit a balance pipe to help the 'silence scavenge' and make it sound like a V6........

Chris Mason had a monster of a silencer on his Indy, Im sure it was on eof the first S2000 engined kits

i would imagine his was a track car and had to pass db tests?

I'm running twin pipes. But then it's a V4.
Loved the dB test @ SVA- they only test one side!! Haha! so despite having accidentally chopped out all the baffles when cutting down the headers it's still officially quiet....
