TexasPthFnder95 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have a 1995 Pathfiner and put a Flowmaster exhaust system on it but i was thinking about putting dual tuner exhausts like the ones you see on civics and skylines and such.. good idea? or no?.. my only worry is it might not work so great off-road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Why would you want up put a fart can on a Pathfinder? Dual exhaust would be fine, but not a fart can dual exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 True duals? I can see putting 2" duals on a street only pathfinder or a 3.3 swap. But not larger than 2" and not for trail on the 3.0. THat is strictly my point of view But I belive it to be the best. dual exits from a y or muffler yeh that would be kool, on or off road with 2-2.25" pipe the problem with "Tuner exhaust" is that if you can't create enough exhuast veloctiy (not to be confused with noise) to fill a larger pipe it will actually slow you down. again, I belive this very strongly. have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have a question on your current duels. Where do your pipes exit? I would like to run duels out the back but it doesn't look like there is enough room around the panhard frame bracket to pass a pipe there.

TexasPthFnder95 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 I dont have duals out the back just a single larger pipe on the side with a dual tip. Im not sure about the duals out the back ive heard gibsons makes a cat-back system with headers for pathfinders with duals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaw Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 why not run duals on an offroad pathy? would it be possible with a slightly smaller pipe? 1.75? just curious why one would keep the 2 inch pipe if you were seperating the pipes into duals. i like the dual tips though.

nismothunder Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) A stock pipe is like 1.75,I have a glass pack with 2 inch pipe from the cat back and it sounded like a tuner car(no fart can,more like...I dont know what but it sounded good and if I let off the gas and coasted it would pop like glass packs do) A true duel off road would get in the way unless you had them exit before the back tires,the would also a hassle to install since the rear axle and stuff are in the way. Theres a video on Youtube of a 3.0 hard body with a glass pack,it sounded like that... Edited February 9, 2010 by nismothunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Anyone else have two pipes coming out the back? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 stock pipe is 1.875. and most exhuast shops are set up for 2"-3" so thats why you wouldn't go smaller for duals. I just think these engines are happiest with a single pipe setup or maybe a dual exit but not true dual unless you do allot of work to them.

I just think these engines are happiest with a single pipe setup or maybe a dual exit but not true dual unless you do allot of work to them. Thats how it worked out on my Titan too. No bigger than 2 1/4 pipe into 1 3" pipe seems to be the best setup. I like two pipes out the back and also I have a bolt broken on my Y pipe and don't feel like trying to drill it out. Would be much easier to just cut it off. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 True duels do have there merits,if you have a miss you can tell what bank itson,my ol' muddy had true duel and flowmasters(not the loud ones) and a vacuum line came off the tranny and leaned out one cylinder so badly it sounded like it was knocking. On a 8 cylinder(because of the displacement you'd notice a bump in hp,but unless the 6 has a lot of mods on it I dont think its worth the time to do true duels all the way back...

GrimGreg Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 If you are going for looks If you are going for good exhaust flow, stick with a single, just up the diameter of the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.510 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Properly built single exhaust makes more power than dual regardless of application. Single exhaust has less pulsing so the flow is smoother and exhaust extraction is improved. IMHO, V6s sound horrible with dual exhaust. It sounds like two Chevy Sprints drag racing side by side...

PATHRIDER Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) get a chevy or ford..and its DUAL not duel Edited February 15, 2010 by PATHRIDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly_94PathyMan Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Like already said, "DUAL" exhausts are better for a V-8 or highly modified V-6's. With the little amount of power that the 3.0 puts out, or even the 3.3 for that matter, just a 2" with a high flow cat, headers, and a reputable muffler...i.e. flowmaster, magnaflow, borla, etc...I think it would perform better. As already stated, you need to maximize flow, not sound to gain power. You could put a 3" pipe on there and it would sound cool, but perform like crap. So just remember, bigger doesn't always mean better, it is how you use it! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I am about to have to replace all of my exhaust as well...(its still factory, and finally wore out.) Where I live there is no smog law, so I am either going to gut my cat or get a good quality high flow. Trying to find a video or sound clip of a path with a 40 or 60 series Flowmaster, youtube isnt producing much of anything. Does anyone know what the dang small cat looking thing is BEFORE the actual cat on the MOTOR side of the exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 on my old D21 with the V6 I ran 2.25" stainless pipe with a borla SS muffler it sounded really good, I finished it off with a borla intercooled square tip, before the borla muffler I ran a flowmaster but it was when flowmaster first came out and the muffler cracked, in between I experimented with a super trapp muffler but it was a pain as the bolts for the plates would seize up.

tmoore4512 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 So you were technically running two mufflers on one line, or did I mis read? Bet that was interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
