Question:

Can I perfectly fit a 3000GT VR4 dual exhaust system on my 3G Eclipse GT?

I was wonder if I do that would I have to cut or do anything to the exhaust to make it fit on and if it could go on my 3G Eclipse GT because I heard that you can do that to get a dual exhaust, Please explain in detail on how to do it and would it increase the hp in my Eclipse?

Answer:

a muffler will give your 2 horsepower dual may get you 4. a 3000gt exhaust wont work. sensors wont match up, im sure the headers are different, and the overall length. be cheaper to go to a shop and get a exhaust done.
The 3000 gt vr4 exhaust system is not a real dual exhaust.Is a single exhaust with a single muffler that have an extra tailpipe that go to the other side.If you want a dual exhaust go to a muffler installer and let them fabricate a custom one for you.
Jay i hope you realize the exhaust system from a 2nd gen 3kgt vr4 is about 75lbs. Now you want to improve performance right? Obviously adding 75lbs isn't going to help you. The 3kgt vr4 exhaust is one single pipe going to a butterfly valve or exhaust cutout valve. It will only change the sound of the exhaust, it really doesn't do anything for performance. Figure the 3kgt vr4 is making 300hp at the crank and is forced induction, your motor is na and considerably less. Even though your motor has the same 6g72 block, it's not going to work with that exhaust. I suggest you look into maybe an air intake and a performance exhaust made for your car, make sure you get one with standard flanges and gaskets so you have a tight leak free exhaust. You can also look into removing or gutting the catalytic converter if you don't have to pass emissions. I know a lot of people may not agree with me on that one but the cat is a serious restriction in your exhaust. Other performance upgrades could be a bigger or overbored throttle body, cams or even converting to forced induction. Just do your research, there's a lot of options with that motor.
