Custom Dual Exhaust Question!

Will I lose any horsepower if I get a custom Dual Exhaust?

Like the one's SilvaC32 and Simonlam168 have on their cars?

How much did it cost you guys to do including labor? How long did it take to make?

The exhaust sounds like Porsche.......I will make a sound clip for you.
There are 2 resonators on each side and no mufflers.
Inlet pipe is 2 inches.
There is slight gain in power. I think It is a little bit faster. Maybe 10 hp........but not sure...
It costs $800 including labor, it takes 1 1/2 days to make.

No smoke checks in Hong Kong. But I think it should pass if the cats are not removed.
BTW, I just recorded the exhaust sound clip a few minutes ago, are you interested?

simon, considering that no other shop in the US is actively making a quad exhaust for the C32...would your shop be interested in making a small run of these and ship them to the US?

We would simply need a single US importer for these, then distribute them out to the people who bought them, or they could ship them direct from hong kong to the buyers.

Id be very itnerested in doing this but with 2 additional inline resonators.

Let me know what you think..

BTW, was that $800 HK or US dollars? jk

Are you saying that you're not using any muffler box at all??...so after the resonator is just a straight thru pipe all the way to the end?....Do you think you can take pics of the muffler from underneath the car??

Cheers.
