    Default One exhaust

    What would the consequences be of running with just the passenger side backbox? You can shout me down for changing the aesthetics of the car, but for performance, what would be achieved by replacing the standard setup for a single box system.... and would the bore size need to be increased a little to compensate for this?
    PS - I love the sound of the crackle from the xpowers - i'd love to get that noise..... but much louder

    Thanks.

    That will look strange as you have two exhaust "ports" on the bumper, you'll have to get a 190 bumper as well. I can't see the point in doing it?
    There is no substitute for cubic inches!

    Seems outrageously pointless to me.

    Cars are all about symmetry, and having the two exhausts at the back is how it SHOULD look!

    Have to agree - don't know why one would want a single pipe,

    Personal choice me thinks and why not ask the question. Even more of a Q-car

    Was talking to Kevin at the weekend and he said was no point as it did not produce any power advantage as the current pressures would be happy to come out of one side any way. The quads design was more for show and sound.
