If you want throaty have you looked into Triad?

the sound is not real throaty. i'm not sure a triad would fit a 1.7 if the 1.7 has heat exchangers that turn up on the ends. i have a triad on my 2.0L and the outlets (dual )just exit under the bumper without a real valance. i would think the outlets with a 1.7 would not clear.

Yeah. I am not sure about that, but you could call Dave and ask. He custom builds them all so who knows.

At some point I will need to get H.E . I had to rip the tin off because it was all rotted. I ended up welding a couple of holes in the H.E and hopefully it will buy me a year or TWO. The drawback is that I can not drive in cold weather. I just want to get the thing running for the summer. I thnik I will go for the seebring exhaust for now and maybe upgrade later. So far the only place I see them is at pelican. Any other cheap exhausts out there?
