Single or Dual chamber pipes - whats the difference.
Say you have one pipe that is offered in a DUAL chamber config or a SINGLE chamber config. What would be the pro\cons of each one? (I am not talking about dual or single stingers but actually the chambers inside the pipe)
Thanks,
Chris

RE: Single or Dual chamber pipes - whats the difference.
The single chamber pipe potentially produces the most torque and horsepower, but the power band is not as smooth as with a dual chamber pipe. Also, the single chamber pipe’s useful RPM range may be reduced slightly, compared with a dual chamber pipe. A dual chamber pipe produces the smoothest and broadest power, along with more RPM potential, but not quite as much horsepower as a single chamber pipe.

so in other words, the single chamber produces more power put only over a limited RPM while the dual chamber produces less power but produces its power over a broader\greater RPM range.
I understand that but how would this effect tuning? I would assume that because a single chamber works in a limited\windowed RPM range that tuning would be more difficult becuase you would need to tune it for that certain RPM range rather than a general setting - is this correct?

Most of the time, single chamber pipes are "torque" pipes. When you get a feeling of both styles, you'll probably prefer one over the other.
I always pick dual because it fits my power desires in the powerband.
