I have a questions for all of you....

Would you rather have a single exhaust tip with the stock look or would you rather see the Solstice with a dual exhaust kit???

Also has anyone heard if there are any Dual Exhaust kits currently available for the Solstice. RKsport will start shipping a rear Fascia to accomodate the dual exhaust in January but I have yet to hear about an exhaust kit in production yet? Let me know......

I love the looks of the dual and will probably go that way unless the dyno's show a marked improvement with a single pipe. I can live with a single that gives me a little more ompf!

I want duels because it makes the rear more balanced and in my opinion, look better.

I'm waiting for a dual exit exhaust and a nice rear valance before I upgrade my exhaust. Supposedly Corsa is working on one, KappaSphere and Magnaflow have mentioned they're working on designs for later. Since Gravana sells the dual outlet rear valance I'm betting we'll see a dual outlet exhaust from them sometime too.

How come everyone is talking about duel ? No body would like a Centre one ?

I think Gravana is making something to go with the Centre set up to.

I will go with the one that gives me the most oomp.
Think PERFORMANCE here.
This is an item that I do not care the looks, specially for an exhaust system.

I am waiting for the dual outlets to come out. I have had conversations with a few of the aftermarket and they all say it will happened, but the singles is their priority first, even though I believe most owners thinking of replacing the original exhaust will want to go with the dual outlets.

A single centre exhaust reminds me of a rocket but modern rockets have adjustable deflectors so you could steer the car with the exhaust Just MHO.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I would like to get the new rear fascia and then attach a fake tip on the left side that matches the stock tip on the right side.

No increase in performance, but a BIG increase in appeal. And quite cheap.

Giz,
I usually agree with you, but that's kind of like hanging a great big wing on an econobox.

No fakes, IMHO!!

I want real dual exhaust... not for any possible performance gain, but just simply because I like the look. My 1991 MR2 had duals and the car looked pretty nice. IMHO
