914World.com _ 914World Garage _ My New Orange Triad Exhaust
Posted by: greenie Sep 8 2008, 12:24 PM
I bought a new Bursch a few years back, I was never really happy with the tone or overall appearance of it ( It's for sale cheap).
After getting an upclose look at the Triad on Rhodyguys car I contacted Dave at Triad West .
I drove to his shop, was greeted with " there's beer & soda in the fridge let's have some fun". Beautiful shop with a nice lift, Dave takes great pride in his product.
I ended up hanging most of the day talking teeners, with Dave & his wife, Eric & Logan. Nice way to spend a sunny afternoon.
My car is very stock in appearance, I didn't want to cut the rear valance for the dual out. Dave suggested his "Sleeper" Solo II exhaust.
This may be old news to some of you but I was unaware of this configuration.
He turns the passenger side outlet 90 degrees down , standing upright you don't see the outlet.
A beautiful product, really a nice low tone( & it added 30HP 
)
Here's a few pics of Dave doing his thing, the gang & the final product.

A beuatiful product, really a nice low tone( & it added 30HP
)I have the dual outlet, it must add 60hp.
It's a great muffler, you're going to enjoy that.

He was being sarcastic.
Very nice Curt. Welcome to the club
Triads sound so nice.

You're right, a much better look than the Bursch. Thanks for sharing.

Hay, I have a Triad muffler too.
There seems to be something wrong with it. Do ya think Dave can fix it?

What does your car weigh, JP?
That looks FUN! Even with the smoke. Hell, that makes it better!
oh- I love the sound of my triad too. It compelled me to resolve all exhaust leaks and achieve perfect valve adjustment so all I ever hear is that deep song from the triad. Man its sweet.

Apparently it's not "magic smoke".
Just don't stand behind it when I clear its throat. I got some poor soul walking thru the staging lanes....oops.
Free tiars is gud.

Yep,
Dave's a great guy and a welding fool. Made me happy with my Triad and the 1.7 SSHE's he modified to fit his 2.0 Triad dual outlet. Even did some extra work on my hanger for the muffler. If I'd know there was going to be some folks down there yesterday, I would have stopped by. I was out enjoying mine- too nice a day not to.

Hi Curt,
I was going to say if it added 30 hp now your doubled, and might be able to keep up with me. 
I like the Triad, Jon has, I am thinking he might be able to configure one for a V-8 car, there could be a good market out there 
Anyway, I saw your post on Sunday while I was out the door for a cruse myself, Too far for short notice.
Hope you can make it to the 9/14 pancake outing, I have something for you, someone gave me and it perfect for you.
Tony
P.S. I think your tires are on backwards, Don't you want the >>>> of the tread facing forward???
Nevermind There right I'm backward

Hi Tony,
Something for me???
I have a three day golf tourney this coming weekend so I won't make the pancake function.
I'm hoping we can all get together one more time before the rain sets in.

Well it was going to be a suprise but a friend Reps for Pet products and gave me a couple shirts with the Greenie logo and bone on it.
I'll pass it to someone who will deliverit to you.
3 day tourn. sounds good. I took 2nd low net with a gross 75 / net 65 last week at Dungeness. Come on out when you have a chance, We'll play for a Tee shirt.

Jeff,
Just made it back from up/down North/South/ West? East/ I'm confused ...it's hard to really look at a car while blindfolded.
So when are we rolling this thing to the new location?

So tell me again ...these are factory flares welded by a pro on a clean rust free roller ...
My camera was not working to well but this might be OK?
Should I call her/him Orangey??

L20E baby! 
Posted by: sixgt Sep 11 2008, 10:29 AM
Isn't that the ex-Meany car? I am pretty sure he consulted on it if that's the same car. The fabricator on the flares has been in Excellence as I recall. I think the car was named Orangy Tangy. Must be asking a lot $$$$$, a lot of work into it!!!! 
Posted by: greenie Sep 11 2008, 10:39 AM
I just woke up...thought I was dreaming about this Orange thing.
I guess it's not a dream, got a bunch of pic's on my camera & my checking account looks to be smaller.

Will a Chevy V8 fit in this?
Will my new Triad bolt up to a Chevy? ![popcorn[1].gif](style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
Should I drill the door handles to lighten it up?

Hey I want that horn button!
I thought I could trust a guy with your reputation?
Mr . X warned me about you....

Yes, it's The General's car
She's given me authority - Attention, this is The General here. I believe I have been outmaneuvered and am now the proud possessor of "Orangey??" But, I know when to surrender . . . you can't fight the disease!
Greenie here again - patience, guys, it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Wear them down, slowly, gradually, painfully, with whining, unrational rationalizations, pillow talk, and even outright bribery. I have a feeling this is going to cost me something much shinier and prettier than the car will ever be!

Further proof of the old saying......it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Posted by: sixnotfour Sep 11 2008, 07:32 PM
Hey Curt ,Who havent you called about this 914?
BTW Camp has some big ass 16inch Fuchs for you.
Curt you never even saw the horn button, 15 min later you wouldnt have even saw the 914 oh ya.
Congrats General 
Posted by: Root_Werks Sep 12 2008, 08:35 AM
This looks like a great find. It'll be great to see what Curt does to it.
Posted by: DNHunt Sep 12 2008, 08:40 AM
If his work is anything like the green car it will be a knock out eyecatcher.
Congrats you you guys
Dave
