The Triad I have is just too loud for me. It has a cool look with an original style, but I'm not enjoying the car when I go for anything but a short ride. None of my neighbors have complained. I've asked them about it just to be sure. Living in a condo community where I already bend the rules a bit is a balance.
So I've got the car going into a specialty shop near my house. The guy that runs it has decades of muffler work and tells me about all the 911 stuff he's engineered. He likes my Triad headers although he's planning on doing some adjustments to them. They don't hang at the exact height and he's going to even them out. It will be a fix that you can't see from the top of the car, but it will look correct when I'm working under it.
The plan is to make a tube that joins the to headers and enters a 30" muffler on the passenger side. The muffler will be tucked up high in the body and a single pipe will exit on the drivers side hanging just below the valance. The idea is nothing will be hanging out and the pipe will barely be seen. The muffler won't be Weldon in place so it may be removed easily.
If your looking for a loud set of pipes, they'll be up for sale when it's all done.
More to report next week when it goes into the shop
Stan's mufflers in Kent?
The guy at stan's should be familiar with the triad. They prob pre-bent the piping on your muffler.
Is there a chance that a Triad can me modded to run quieter?
Sort of like a Bursch 914/6...

Yes except with a bigger muffler and a "ball & socket" joint at both ends of the muffler so it and the tail pipe can be taken apart easily. That will make it so I can change out the two of them
Are the Triads foe the -6 louder than The ones on a -4 ? I've riden in several -4s with Triads and didn't consider them on the loud side. Even the dual outlet version seemed tame.
Is the Banana muffler the quietest ?
Yep, I can attest to the droning sound ... it finally got to me after a few long trips.
I replaced the Triad dual (on my 2056) with an OEM banana. It's quieter and closer to the existing jetting I was running (although I still need to fine tune the jetting a bit).
Work is under way. The muffler won't be visable from the rear of the car
whats that oily look n stuff on the inside of rear tire....?
Too late .. I have a Bursch that I would have donated to the cause. Tubing is good but the muffler is bad
I am running a gutted 911 muffler with dual 2.5" outlets.
- For the street the right side is plugged ... nice.
- Remove the plug for the track ... earplugs are advised.
.22, .380, .45, .50 ... what caliber is it?
Oh, caliper
Ok, but now its a calipurrr. I'll post a video later. Here's the view from behind
Cool ...
Some other views..The tail pipe barely hangs below the valance. Just looks clean. Over the winter I'll have it ceramic coated

Hi sir, looks like you didn't install back the heat shield that is originally attached below the rear trunk floor. Please share if its okay without it and not letting the rear trunk floor gets too hot. thanks!
