I'd venture to say that they would be loud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Mike,
the consensus around here is that twin exhausts are not so good on a 4... but good on a 6. I know Brad can add input and probably more accurate input than my little "consensus" one. I haven't seen this on a dyno (the 4cylinder statement) so I can't verify it... but I've heard it over and over from my motor builder, and he probably did get it from a dyno. brant |

those look like porsche factory megaphones welded to 914/4 flanges
iirc the p-megaphones have no damping at all (unlike supertrapps) so it would be like running without a muffler soundwise I believe they used the megaphones instead of straight pipes because they have a 'velocity stack' effect the main reason not to run a double exhaust like this on a /4 is because the firing sequence of the cilinders isn't equal left/right (unlike a /6) so you need a x-over between the left and right header/he cheers, jeroen |

I had no intentions of using these....I replaced the front shock inserts on a fellow 914 owners car and he gave these to me for helping him....
Stock heatexchangers for me with a Bursh muffler is all I'm running....I want a header, but I'm too cheap to pay for one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

They are real close to the stinger I run on the bug, when I want to piss-off the neighbours. :finger2:
I use a four into one merged header and the stinger has a baffle in it that I take out for drag racing. Twice as loud without the baffle, all it has is a perforated tube that bolts in. Once in a while I remove the baffle and wrap it in fiberglass to quiet it down. A four into one merged header is the proper exhaust for a Type 1 (bug) engine, so I very much doubt that the Type 4 is any different. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Mike,
Who gave you those ?? I sold those at a Automotion swap meet back in 1999. I know the dent in the end of the one. I sold them for 50$ They work well for what they cost. B |

Mike, you can install my engine in mine for me. After rebuild, sitting for about a week waiting for help.
Or, I could go there, wash A car, then you can give me the megaphones. hehehe |

I had these on my 74 1.8. The local VW shop welded baffles into them to 'quiet' them down. This was a quick fix for stripped exhaust studs, I couldn't get both of the exchangers to line up with the Bursch exhaust.
