Well, on the FC Racing Beat designed a system that was a true (actually) dual exhaust setup. On the renny gains are made when the exhaust header collection is as far down as possible (note RB header Vs Exoticspeed - there's a reason RB collects at the very last minute!). Here's a pic of the FC exhaust...



I wonder if the renesis (not you John) would have any gains from this? I mean, its been proven that a later collection is better but would no collection at all prove even better? Only beneficial for the FI guys perhaps? Weight gain Vs power gain?

Anyways, I've always thought it would be do-able for someone with the mandrel knowhow and proper materials to mate a manifold directly to this sucker...

The rotary extreme exhaust isn't a real dual exhaust like I'm saying...

203 whp last January.

Mods:
  • Racing Beat Intake
  • Racing Beat Duct
  • RP High Flow Cat
  • Racing Beat Exhuast
  • BHR Radiator
  • Mazmart Water Pump

Those are the only mods worth mentioning for dyno purposes.
Since then I've added the BHR Ignition and the headers.

203 with just that isn't bad at all!

Is there going to be another dyno day? I'll be there if there is

of COURSE there's gonna be another dyno day.
We'll probably shoot for January again since the end of the year seems pretty busy (and expensive) for most people.

Nice, I can't wait!

I'll be happy if I'm pushing anywhere north of 200rwhp w/ MS intake, perhaps RB header by then, RB resonator free midpipe, JIC full TI exhaust, RB Race Flash, new coils/magnecore wires/plugs just recently.

I'll hopefully have my BHR kit and a midpipe back on by then, hoping for some decent numbers!

Dynos are really weird some times.
Last year there were quite a few surprises in the sense that cars WITH midpipes, intakes, etc didn't perform as well as I would have thought.
Then some cars were above where I thought they would be.

Those new MS3 dyno #'s and civic Si dyno #'s are impressive!

I am going through twisty withdrawals! Need to enjoy handling of the FE asap or I will start to get depressed!
