Twins?

Has anyone ever took cans off twins and made them fit on a singe?

Like put a reverse y pipe on the end of the single down to the two cans.
Does any one know if it would or does work?

Has anyone ever done it?
any input is greatly appreciated :)
 
Save a few bucks, and increase your fabrication techniques of course :)

Good luck, im sure your the only guy to try, since the vast majority of the mod market offers a single :D
 
I just just bored when i am listning to teachers lecture :)

I have a bunch of other ideas too! This is a good one compared to them! :)

I will let you guys know how it works :)
I might have came up with a new good idea!
 
i am just intrested in fabrication and performance.
I think that there would be so advantages to having what i am talking about. You will never know if you dont try right? :)
 
What advantages? You have two silencers - more weight, more piping, more restriction in the pipes due to turning, bends, joints, etc. Why wouldn't you just use one bigger silencer? I don't think there are any advantages to a design that goes from two to one and then back to two again. It may help you improve your fabrication, doubt it will improve the performance becuz you are using silencers designed for twin pipes (specific application) and adapting them to another application they are not designed for. The only reason I could see using 2 silencers from a single pipe would be space wise. If you needed the additional room and wanted to configure the silencers so that you gained more space that would be the only reason I would do it. IMO anyway.
 
sure there are disadvantages. there are disatvantages with everything. If no one has ever tried it then why not try it? If you have never done it or seen it done then why put it down?

So if you were at the bottom of a huge hill and you were 95% sure that you werent going to make it would you still try it? Even if you only make it half way up you can change how you approached it or what line you take and make it up a little farther. If you keep trying, you will eventualy make it to the top! even if you have to change everything that you did the first time!:):D;)
 
I thought about doing this because I switched from twins to a single and didn't want to have to buy a new lightweight can, however, then I thought about it.....The only logical reason outside of saving space or using parts you already have would be increase fab skills. If anything it'll hurt performance. It's not like you've come up with a revolutionary idea, I'm sure it's been done many times, the results of which lead to it being unpopular. :) (bad)

But what exactly do you think there is to be (or may be) gained from such a setup? Magic horsepower?

Not trying to put you down dude, just trying to save you from wasting a ton of time on fabricating a system that has obvious flaws. While I see they are not obvious to you or they are and you just aren't pointing them out, I have been around long enough and built enough high HP motors in everything from mud runners to jet boats, sleds and just about everything in between. So I can tell you from experience the following (again): it won't be significantly lighter if at all, the physical amount of material is more or equal, so therefore by a galatically accepted universal law whereby matter cannot be created nor destroyed, you won't lose weight from this system compared to a single silencer. Just the same as I said before, a silencer for a twin is designed for a twin pipe, not to be run off a single. Since twin pipes flow more, your silencers will flow more than a single pipe silencer thereby reducing backpressure which will probably have a negative effect on the HP your motor produces since 2 stroke motors basically require a tuned pipe to make power and scavenge the cylinders. Without the proper backpressure in the silencer, you may not achieve the same pressure waves in the pipes to maximize its power and design.

You have yet to discuss your ideas of "advantages" as you keep calling them. What ADVANTAGE are you looking for? We have said it will likely decrease or maintain your same level of performance. It will likely increase or maintain the same weight of the current system (unless you are using a suitcase muffler then you will lose some weight). So, apart from that.....what other advantage are you looking for? Sound? Twin silencers may give you that "cool" sound, or they might just reduce your performance. But hey, they'll sound cool.......kinda like a Honda Civic with a coffee can.....

If you want two pipes sticking out of the bottom of the sled then weld another pipe onto the bottom of your current silencer for show. Not trying to bag on you man, do whatever you want.

BTW, your analogy of climbing a hill was a nice try, the real analogy here is all your friends are saying "wow that looks really steep and 99% chance you'll roll your sled if you attempt it and don't make the top" and then you hit it and wreck your sled, all your friends are going to be saying "we told you so".

some things dont need to be tried. I wonder if your sled would be faster if you tried running your skis backwards?

Here's an Advantage...Another place to strap on your muffpot :D
 
SLP made a canister for the 900 cats that had an auxillary tube due to snow packing the primary exit and the sled bogging. It was just a small tube, not two exit ports of the same size. Most of the performance manufactuers spend lots and lots and lots of time testing different setups specific for each sled until they find what works best. Personally, I think you would be wasting your time. On the other hand I would be curious with the results. So, uh, yeah go for it!
