I am wondering if it would be possible to fab up my own exhaust system for my 1.8L engine. I figure i might be able to save some money this way, instead of buying a brand new one from AA or whomever and i'll learn how to make an exhaust as well. Just wanted to see what other people have done and how they went about it. Pictures would be great. I plan on getting rid of the heat exchangers if that helps out at all!
Thanks in advance everybody!! |

I got a bursch at the time because it was a steal and have been satisfied, but if the thing rots out or gets wrecked I'd be open to bigger more power. I thought the tangerine is a header system-no heat. Is the triad a muffler that bolts on to the HE? Any solid data on the HP comparison bursch v triad? The sound is not as important to me.

The tangerine exhaust is a complete system and yes the Triad has a header system but for the most part is a muffler that bolts up to the stock components. I don't know where it is but yes, we did a comparison with a Stock, Triad, Monza, Bursch, and another exhaust I don't remember the name of. All of the other exhausts tested you actually lost HP over the stock. he Triad had a 4hp gain and was the only to do so out of these mufflers. Test car was a carbed 2.0l. I know Dave did some of his own testing as well. Maybe he has it on his site...I'll look. Here is what I found on his site: http://www.triadwestperformance.com/images/CRANEY_TXT.htm |
