Here is the result of a day off well spent, welded in a patch for the original exit pipe, and made two more for the muffler that I got from evil bay...Stern says it ROCKS! Sound is great as well! Looks OEM I think.

now you need a real sports car to go with the sound Looks good, you made it look factory with the valance and all |
Looks great
Make a sound clip for us!!!
...
Yeah, I'm really not sure how to post a sound file either, but hopefully someone can tell you.
I may try to go to the Nov 13 autocross at Sears Point, but probably just to watch. My tires are a little sketchy right now.
Where in the North Bay are you located?
FAIRFIELD...in the Hood...close to the mall.
Looks great. Is that a dansk muffler? i have a set of those megaphones and was thinking of doing exactly what you have pictured.
It is a 100%stock Two liter muffler, still has the VW part number on it. Dansk cost like $4000.00 each I think...lol
For the sound clip, just find one of those free media hosting sites(there's many) and upload it onto there and post a link to it. Or maybe someone has some server space somewhere
What exactly does the cookie cutter mega phone's do compared to straight pipes?
Would it make sense to put in on a v8???
Im just still thinking about my exhaust...
I don't know whether to listen to the exhaust note or raise my hands in surrender.
That just looks sooooo cool, I'm betting it sounds awesome too
Any chance I can purchase just a pair of the cookie cutters? I have my own plan to eliminate a muffler later on
Now that's what I call "tailgating deterrent".
that looks REAL nice!!!!!!!!!!!! where can i find the cookie cutters?
I like that look. Nice job
Thanks everyone for the positive comments, I have been contacted by someone who says they can make this type of mega phone. I'll keep everyone in the loop. If you are coming to the Nov Sears Point Auto Cross, you can hear it there. Then swing by for our 914 Club, PCA meet and greet. Snacks/grill provided, and two parts cars if you need anything!

I would assume that it changes the sound a little bit. Something about flow and whatnot.
I get flames coming out of my exhaust... Maybe its a good excuse...
lol

Lol
Um
no, I dont have to much backpressure
Actually its caused by a header gasket that blew out at the wcc (just a piece of it.. lol) that I left out.
Throws a good flame that can be seen in the exhaust at night... (at least this was the case when I was running with the holley carb, now I doubt I still have the flame with the TBI)
Just another reason I dont drive my car at night.
btw, Im running a sbc...
Andrew
Looks kinda ricey to me.

I want to do something like this
Except not crappy.
Nice work, as usual, Martin!
The cookie cutter insert is just to provide strength to the megaphone so it doesn't get all bent up or flattened.
Be careful at sears, Martin. Strict noise regulations in effect. 103db all day. They will black flag.
If you think it might be too loud bring another muffler. just in case.

It is my understanding that the cookie cutter part of these is strictly a spark/flame arrestor. Anyone else know? |
...
that is EXACTLY the same idea i had for my exhaust.....i love how it came out...i cant wait for mine!

PLEASE....Does this look ricey to you as well? |
It’s my understanding also that the Cookie cutter inserts were started to prevent collapsing. Without them, people can “nudge” you from the back and close off your exhaust.

Nope. If they are real megaphones coming off the headers for performance purposes. "Ricey" to me means show-and-no-go so the megaphones grafted to a muffler kinda defeats the purpose of the megaphone. Just my $.02 |
