Will the Gen 6 (i think) V6 dual exhaust fit on my 97 camry? I'm looking to replace my current stock exhaust but only want to go dual exhaust not like upgrade to a louder exhaust. So was just curious if the v6 dual exhaust of the gen 6 would fit in place of my 97 stock exhaust?

thanks

Ok thanks for the reply, do you know of a dual exhaust that will work?

do it anyway...get the mufflers and rear y-pipe and have them fitted to your car. it will not bolt up but it can be made to fit!!

i doubt theres any dual exhaust that will bolt up on your car

just do what they said... have it fitted on... you can definitely have it on your car but it wont be a bolt in it'll be custom fitted

I have to ask, does a twin exhaust set up offer any performance gains over just a cat back or is it just for looks? I always look at things from a performance stance over looks. Why not just get a really nice cat back single set up that will make the car perform better?

Just my opinion.

it wouldnt. on the gen4 you need REALLY skinny mufflers and even then you have to bend the tire well to make it work. other then that you could fit a muffler downstream and that would work also i suppose.

well kinda. some guys do it to avoid having to run larger diameter tubing. two 2.25" tubes is just as free flowing as one 3", maby better depending on mufflers. but on these cars its has to be just for looks...unless boosted. on an NA motor theres very little restriction on either the V6 or the 5s so upstream upgrades are much more important. personally i think a single catback is more then sufficent but i have see duals on a gen4 and it looks really good....gen3 not so much.

For me it would be just for looks. I'm not the all performance track type guys, which is why my car is all stock. If it was performance I would probably go with the cat back

I heard of a guy doing it but it wasnt as plug and play as he made it out to be

If all you care about is style, just bolt it on in the back. Don't even bother trying to connect it.

Just have a muffler chilling by itself. A guy at my school has a V6 mustang but wanted it to look like the GT so he got the GT body kit (which has dual exhaust, whereas the V6 does not) and just welded a second muffler in for the other exhaust hole.

It looks good, but when you find out he's just faking, makes him look like 10X more of a douche!

The "phoney tailpipe" is an old trick. Used to see 'em on 283 Chevy powerslides all the time.. first thing the kid did when daddy turned the old family 4 door over to him. Second was losing the hubcaps and adding chrome lugnuts. The deal is this, a transverse engine would have a complicated front pipe setup to get close to equal length manifold to system connections otherwise nasty sound interactions result from having "unmatched systems" side to side even with a crossover pipe between banks, not to mention, two flex pipes two front cats, two Oxy sensors, two rear cats, two REAR sensors, two rear mufflers, ect. It's easy to get equal lengths on a non-transverse system, like on a pickup or "classic" SUV, or RWD car. I don't think I have ever actually seen a separate from manifold back dual exhaust system on a "production" transverse engine car. If there is one it must be quite a sight. (remember, the front bank pipe has to go around and under the front bank) If you want to improve the sound on a V6 Camry the mickey mouse "non Y" pipe joint between banks to the single exhaust can be replaced with an aftermarket equal length "Y". If you look at the V6 stock joint, one side is hooked in at a right angle. Makes the 6 sound funny. Also runs better with equal lengths.
My V6 driving son and I both think Y pipes are expensive, non technically justified jokes. If you are going to do it, AT LEAST paint the pipe joint flat black so the guy in back of you can't see the "Y'. Of course the giveaway is the exhaust pulses from a real dual system, which you can see on cold mourning, are staggered. Not many people who know cars are fooled, Especially when the "Y" is an a FOUR cylinder.
THey are getting some nice sounds out of the new Nissan V6's. Anybody been under one?
