If I were to put an Eternal exhaust on my 3.2 Elite, could I use the single outlet (ie, 2.5) backbox instead of twin outlet (ie 3.0)?
Also, I assume the prefacelift and facelift exhausts are the same on the V6, ignoring that the prefacelift backboxes are slightly shorter...
-
Would guess so Jaime - I had to fit a twin outlet box on the 2.5 Estate due to non availability of single outlet box at the time - fitted ok with minor tweak to one of the hangers :y
Long as its a saloon back box for yours as Estate & Saloon back boxes different.

Correct
-
I fitted a twin outlet rear box from a 3.2 on my 2.5, so it should be the same the other way round. :y

Goes without saying really :P :P

Well, he did ask. ::) :P

But my reply posted before yours :P ;D

No restriction to flow using single outlet?
-
Possibly. Mine certainly lets more noise flow out the back than the single outlet did. A bit too much if Im honest. :-/
-
Interesting question!
Considering quite a lot of power does come from the exhaust, flow is important.
But would a single pipe make that much of a difference? What if it was one pipe but then split into two in a stainless tip?
-
Dunno about a pukka twin outlet box (working correctly, that is) compared to a 2.5 single.
But do know that fitting a shiney new Irmscher twin outlet to my estate made a mahoosive difference, given that the one it replaced had a collapsed pipe on one side.
Remember checking it at the lakes and the fuel trims? All sorted now.... ;)

Something was wrong with your old backbox IIRC, only getting gases from one pipe?

You're not kidding! The last time you came to mine, I heard you coming from the next village!! I thought you'd dropped in a V8!!
I think it sounds excellent!! :y

Nah, try TheDaddy's spare exhaust. That's load ;D

Curiously, most people go the other way. Twins on to a 2.5 to make it look like a 3.0 for the pose factor. I know i did when I had my 2.5 elite.
So, either you've got a single outlet back box kicking around or you want people to think it's a 2.5 and then leave them standing off the lights. ;D ;D
Alternatively, maybe that's all eternal have now. :-/

And an MOT failure iirc. ;)
Ive decided I think I would prefer the quieter standard exhaust (god Im getting old) a week after I sold Guffer a virtually brand new standard cats back system. ::) ;D
-
Seem to remember master saying twin pipe exit was purely for show.... :-/
-
Twin exit for show only. It is so far from the engine and two mufflers in between so it will have no effect on the flow of exhaust gases :y And as said, will fit both ways, twin to replace single and vice versa, saloon and estate being different.

Or, it could be as they dont sell facelift backboxes, I need to fit a chavvy trimpiece :-X

Believe they do sell the twin outlet backbox, it's just not advertised on evilbay. TheDaddy did send me the information on how to order it, seems to be the usual 'ask seller a question' and wait a week for an answer situation though....

I regret not discing off the three little tacks of weld that held the original stainless tailpipes on. They may have come in useful to somebody as finishers on an eternal system. Is it an option in your case? (using 3.0 backbox) :-/

Do what I did and get a pair of chavvy trim pieces, one for each pipe. :y

Erm.. Well, one of them fell off the other day due to a failed jubilee clip and is in the boot. :-[
Will see what I can do later.

Going for the full chav effect then ;D

The exhaust muppets fitted a single pipe exit on my 3.0 MV6 a few years back to get me through the Mot, I personally thought it did restrict my top torque, so wasn't long after I changed it for a Twin, probably didn't feel much different, if Im honest but made me feel better.
