P.S. When I did my exhaust - I did ask, but they guy just replied with something like it would cost way too much and he could not garrantee the performance... etc. :doubt:

I have been contemplating doing this (or paying to get it done) what sort of modifications need to be done to the car to do this?? it can be as simple as taking the existing pipe under the car ans splitting it into 2 and adding another cannon?????

I like the twin exhaust look. Can I ask why you wanted to put a wing on a 4 cylinder automatic? Do you really go that fast to notice the down force generated by the wing?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at you. Just interested in your reasoning for putting a wing on.
:cool:

I also had a wing like that on my TR auto, but mine was more like the kind found on the ralliarts. Its carbon fibre and sat about 8-12" from the boot, i since modified the brackets and now its abou 2-3 inches from boot. Just for looks really, but it does make the car one hell of a lot easier to reverse if your in a hurry.
still keen to find out what needs to be dont to get the twin exhaust.
Also, has the bumper just been cut out with a jigsaw or was it more professional???

It'll be a Y pipe after the cat. From there there's enough room to run two pipes and two mufflers

and rough costing if i supplied the cannon and got it professionally done????

you'd prolly have to find that out yaself mate, most muffler places wont do it though if you supply the cannons.
also gas how does a wing help you reverse?

As for pricing you'd have to ring around. Actually you're FAR FAR better off going to the places in person and getting them to have a look under the car so they don't just palm you off.
Tell them you have the money (regardless of if you do or not) and that if they're prepared to do the work you're prepared to pay.
Make it seem like money isn't a problem and they'll serve you, probably give you an inflated quote..but it'll be a starting point to go to other places with.

On my verada theres i actual cut out for a another exhaust pipe from the factory, i hope this helps. Also there should be no power difference if there was its cheap and easy to run a balance pipe between them. Would look good and sound nice also!
