Has anyone ever seen a dual exhaust on an 88 3.2. I am looking at a car to buy and I am always skeptical of hack jobs and mods that are going to put me in a bad spot. All the G50 3.2's I have seen have a single exhaust coming out left side but this one has a dual exhaust but nothing comes out the right hand pipe.

I have a 3.2 with an upgraded 1 in 2 out exhaust. You can also put SSIs or headers and get a 2 in 2 out exhaust. Not sure about the one you saw where the right one isnt functioning unless it was capped to reduce noise maybe?

Or a dummy piece for looks ?

That's an aftermarket setup of some sort

There are several ways it could have been done, you will need to look underneath to find out which.
1) a dual out muffler could have been installed after the stock cat
2) as above w/ a cat bypass
3) headers w/ a dual in/dual out muffler, common headers are ssi which are a bit too small fo max performance but fine for street use, B&B 1 3/4" which are a bit too big, B&B 1 5/8" which are a great size but have poor heat(as do the 1 3/4") there are some other less common headers that have been used.

Of course! I have it myself, you get a duel output muffler. I have the fabspeed unit, coupled with the cat bypass. Great setup.

ok thanks guys...I am going to get underneath it tonight. I will take some pics and post and hopefully I can narrow down which one it is.

the fact " nothing comes out the right hand pipe" is interesting..

M&K ships the 1 in 2 out with a block off for the right pipe that fits between the muffler body and exhaust tip. It makes a very big difference in volume. Really nice, light muffler if that's what it is, but very loud with both pipes open.

I missed that note! Probably a dummy!

Ruf offered a modified banana exhaust for the 3.2. I used to have one. It was fully functional so this sounds like a cosmetic mod only.

M&K sounds amazing with only one tailpipe

Gentlemen, Looks like a sport muffler similar to what i have in my 1986 carrera

Looking at the OP's pic again, the driver side muffler looks correct / on a proper angle, yet the drivers looks straight. Like a Mustang exhaust, etc. Something is up w/ that one!

Could be the result of the removable tip on the right being rotated at a weird angle, with could support the M&K theory. Hard to tell from this photo.

Hey Guys,

I finally got under the car. Your suspicions are exactly correctly. Obvious one of the early owners decided it was "cool" to have a dual exhaust. They welded another pipe onto the exhaust system just to make it look like a dual. So silly. People do the strangest things!
