Default opinion of Single Exhaust

Hi guys

im having a legamax CBE but i really dont like the way it sounds

my Z has a FI LTH with the Legamax CBE...

im not looking for a loud exhaust sound, so im thinking of getting a single 3" exhaust and add 2 12" resonated pipes in sequence for less sound !

do you guys think it will work ??!! opinion plzzz

Hell yes! For those who haven't heard a single on a VQ37, you are missing out.

Doesn't a single 3" pipe flow significantly less than two 2.5" pipes?

Do you want though 2 2.5" pipes on a NA motor? The Top Speed single showed nice gains. In the end does it matter if ones 5hp more or less if the owner likes the way it sounds? Plus you lose a little a weight

What is the id of the stock exhaust? Aren't most na aftermarket exhausts 2.5"? If the op likes the sound, more power to him.

I don't know about the Legamax, but the hi-power is very quiet with a nice tone. That said, not sure if you are running the HFC/TP. Any exhaust pair with HFC/Tp will be LOUD.

My opinion on single exhaust is - they look badass and one of a kind!

This one for example

I'm not a huge fan of single exhaust just based on the looks with our car. I've seen it with the oem rear bumper where one cut-out is just empty. Personally I think that just doesn't look good but seeing a single under an amuse bumper... it looks great!

Who would've guessed the Amuse bumper with the Amuse exhaust would look great?!?! lol jk. Yes if I didn't have the stock rear bumper or found a way to cover one of the cutouts a single would be nice but 95% of the singles are too high pitched for me.
