Ireland's single muffler vs. Invidia N1
 
Looking for a lower cost exhaust system and found these on waymotorworks.com.

First, aside of weight, the the single muffler provide better back pressure? Is single muffler going to provide better flow and performance over a dual muffler set up?

Lastly, out of these brands which is the better set up?

Thanks!

I have the Invidia. Installation was a breeze, sounds great - mellow burble at idle, rumbly at cruise, growls on accelleration.

I'm sure the sound awesome! My worry is that maybe aftermarket exhaust systems don't allow the proper back pressure needed so the engine has as much push that it did with stick. Weird thing about 4 banger engines. In still used to muscle cars haha. Totally different.

Back pressure is only really an issue if you have way too much or way too little. Open header is bad, likewise running 1.5" piping would be stupid too. Both stock and aftermarket are well within the realm of having an acceptable amount so it shouldn't be a concern.

Heres how the invidia turned out. I admit it does sound kinda farty in the video, but in person it sounds great!

How loud of an exhaust are you looking for? If you like mine (videos in this section) I can probably get you one. It's a custom set up. I understand if you're not looking for something so noisy though!

Videos in what section? I'd like to take a look.
