Like George Carlin would say, "...that's moderately neato."

I guess your talking about the dual exhaust? No not really. Sorry, I don't find it special.

Only if you actually had a "real" dual exhaust with two full exhaust pipes each venting from two cylinders. Other wise it is lame. You would need custom headers for that, and there would probably be no performance gain. I saw this exclipes 2 days ago with dual exhaust, but when he pulled in front of me going up hill I saw one exhaust was just a muffler with no piping going into it. ****ing gay. Dual exhaust is a neet idea, but if 1 pipe is good enough for wrc it is good enough for me.

Pat I am shipping my STi this week so I can go to that track day with you. I may end up racing the RS though. We should do that, to bad my RS is auto! I'll keep you posted in the Indy thread.

That's what I'm talking about....with 2 turbos.

Right now I'm planning on running the RS, but if the pistons would just hurry up and get here, I'm might be able to run the WRX (if it's broken in and it would be non-aggressively tuned.)

Dude you can break it in in 1 day of driving. That is no problem as long as you can get everything in there a few days before the track day, and then run it for 1k. Well change the oil and head to the tracks. Twin turbo is a really nifty idea, but may people have tried it and no one I have seen has had good results. They make more power with 1 large turbo it seems, at least from what I have read.

Well, I'm no genius but it sounds like a fun project....1 turbo or 2.

As far as I'm concerned, it would be nice to have an intake & exhaust manifold setup like the Rigoli's have on their wagon.

Nice straight shot to the tb, then nice straight shot out the tailpipe.

2 turbos. 2 dedicated pipes for each one- i believe the 2.0 TT doesn't even have that. do that with some super fat exaust system and crank the boost. with that i don't even thing lag would be a problem.
