Default Anyone run dual exhaust?

I've been looking to upgrade my pipe, and I am intrigued by the rear pipe/ dual outlet setup by tsais or rd logics. I must admit they look cool and it does away with the 180* bend in the side exit systems, so it should breathe better. Anyone have any experience with these?

Dual exhaust is a waster of your time and money. Once you get a bad rear landing your screwed.

I'm running a RD logics dual pipe with a moded K4.6 so far it looks good keeps the side neat and clean. But still have yet to do a test run... I race my savi now... over the jumping phase too many broken parts.

Yup, the tips are adjustable, I bought it for 105$..I noticed the rear starts to get quite heavy after I installed it. I'd still prefer the stock side pipe...

I guess if you are after for top-end speed and looks, this dualies are recommended. But for wheely-poppin' off-road bashing you'll end up damaging this. i don't want to risk bad landings using this pipe

I actually don't like how it looks. Makes the truck look unballanced and tail heavy to me. Also the smoke coming straight out the back like that looks like one of those cheesy rocket cars, like a 10 yo strapping rocket motors to his Tonka truck.
Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don't like how it looks

I agree it really is tail-heavy. I'd still prefer the stock or probable a hard-anodized M25 Pipe.

I have the RD logics one for my T-maxx w/ picco .26

I have no problems w/ the torque as it wheelies everywhere but the top end is weird as when I go full throttle it wont reach full power?!? It will sound like bwaaaaaaa...aaaa...aaa....aaaa..aa! it seems like its cutting off or something?! It may not be the pipe but something else.

Also please if anyone makes a comment like "sucks" or its "great" please eaxplain why and add more info as to why you said it cause everyone including myself is looking for more info.

Welcome to the forums.... Im just going to make it plain and simple... You wasted $40 or whatever you payed for it, I would not take it for free. It gets damaged very easily, IMO it looks like crap and sucks out performance of your engine... No back pressure whatsoever My .02, Tom.[8D]

I agree. I have returned to the stock tune pipe since there is no backpressure using the dual pipes. It just that it really looked so good!

I used to run a slimline system on my t-maxx, waste of time! It's been sitting in my pit box for over a year now, I'll probably sell it or just throw it out.

i used to run the rd logics pipe with my sh.28 and i would never go there again, sure they look good but they don'y have enuf back pressure. it is nearly impossible to get a good tune using these pipes.

How come every one says there isn't enough back pressure...??? try boring out the back pressure nipple so as to make the hole larger. And also bore out the fuel tank return pressure holes. I have no issue. Learnt this from the Revo.

I think its cause they have dual stingers which makes them lose air more easily[&:] Im probably wrong though
