looking for suggestions for exhaust systems to eliminate the VW clanger noise from the 914. What have you done and how do you like the results.

Triad muffler. Do a utube search to hear one. I have one on my six, but some of the locals have them on there 4's and they do a good job.

it is so funny that its restricted air flow characteristics appear to fly in the face of HP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

i guess back pressure can't be ignored (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

You cannot forget the sound of a Scart. No comparison. It's stainless too.

Did I see recently that the maker of the Triads was on health hiatus?

Putting a flat 6 in front of the exhaust will always make a great improvement on the sound.

I like the stock 2.0 banana muffler's unique sound.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ,I like the sound of the Triad but its a weird looking design,makes you wonder why they work well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ,the Scart sounded rather loud @ higher rpm and certainly up there price wise,quality product however.
The T4 has a sound all of its own,have used several homemade exhausts and they all sound pretty much the same,IMO to reduce that VW sound a good oversize tail pipe helps, the banana muffler would be the best stock look muffler as Perry mentioned....with an enlarged tail pipe.
Few members on here have been happy with Tangerine racing version,looks like a good system to me.

To "me" this is by far the best sounding muffler in a 914-4.

I've got a Triad now. I think it's ok, but honestly it's a bit loud for me (or probably more for my neighbors in the early morning). Is the Tangerine exhaust any mellower? I know it looks awesome.

Someone at the last Hollywood meet had a 914-4 with one of those Tangerine headers and let me tell you it was the nicest sounding 914-4 I have ever heard. If you are trying to take out the VW bug sound and make it sound smoother and throatier.......then that is it. To be honest I thought that it wasn't a type 4. It was that smooth!

I would have to go with the Evo II from Tangerine as well, and I will let you know how it goes when mine is installed along w/ the headers, but I listened to this set up on YouTube and it sounds incredible
