One of Andrews plans this winter is to install the headers and dual exhaust on the 914-8. With rain today (again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ) delaying our work on the garage, we took the time to install the headers today and of course, we had to fire it up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
http://teamgracer.com/cars/videos/openheaders.wmv Tomorrow we'll have to put mufflers on it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) If anyone has an idea for a muffler that doesn't sound like an echo chamber, we're open to suggestions. Right now it looks like a couple of Magnaflows or Flowmasters with possibly a resonator for each tip. |

There must have been more dust in them then we thought. I cut out the part where we all danced around the garage saying "Let's do it again!". I think even Mom liked it a bit...
I don't think I've ever pulled off a muffler without fireing up the engine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

BTW, if you think im not going to use that...
I'll be making a separate system that dumps from the headers to the side of the car.. 2 ft per side, straight 2 1/2 in dumps... That will be for track and fun days only.. hehehehehe.... |

Great V8 job!! But I can't belive that Areon pegged your fuel pump by sound alone over that open exaust? I bet he heard it just before it cranked.

Pricey....but "Wyld Thang" runs 4 Stainless steel Borlas....two on each side.
I have seen a gutted dual in dual out 911 banna muffler on a V8 that also had twin premufflers between the headers and the muffler.....sounded awesome. Nice burble at idle, good rumble up to 3500 rpms and then it sounded like a Camaro on steroids after that. Relatively stock outward apearance as well. |

Car enthusiasm is all about waking the neighbors up - Air compressor noise, the associated impact wrench noise (god thats a beautiful sound), and of course the V8 starting up, grinding, tire squealing. Few other pursuits stimulate the senses so profoundly
