I heard a clip of a Triad Muffler on a 914-4 and a 914-6 and it sounded pretty nice. Is anyone running a Triad and how do you like it? I would like to hear some response back before I drop the cash on one. Thanks

On my old 3.2 -6 conversion and current '69 911 coupe, the Triad has BAD reverberation between 3,000-4,2000rpm, depending on which gear. If going on a -6 that will be a daily driver, I would urge you to look into this, to see if it's something you can live with, because it gets really annoying, really fast. On the above-mentioned 3.2 (w/ headers), it was particularly bad - every passenger complained! But mind you, that's w/ the top on. Top off, the sound was great, without issue, though, TO ME, it takes away the raspy, aircooled exhaust soundtrack that I love. That's a personal preference obviously! DOUGH!!!.....guess who he sold it too! I've yet to have my car up to speed with the TRIAD on my SIX. When at idle or slight rev, I loved the sound....let's hope it was just on 'number6's vehicle, eh? I guess he's saying....NO PASSENGERS!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) More like KEEP THE TOP OFF and enjoy the open-air motoring experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But seriously, this is only an annoyance for a daily driver. Top off, on the throttle, the Triad sounds great! It's putzing around, stuck ~3,000-4,000rpm that sucked w/ the 3.2 (for my setup, at least). I won't pretend to understand exhaust systems and dynamics, but I think lots of factors come into play to contribute to the reverberation issue. I was told by Ben at M&K Exhaust that all 2-in, 2-out systems have this issue to some extent - where they differ is in how much and where on the RPM range. Mark, glad you're making progress with your car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
