Dual exhaust tips for a 2.0 /4 ?, ..like on a GT or -6 Options

[Literati914]

With a 2.0 /4 ... Is there any options for getting the look (without sacrificing performance) of the dual exhaust like you see on the factory /6 and in particular the factory GT cars? I thought Dansk had an offering for this, but can not locate it now. Basically I'm after the look of separated tips coming straight out, but not really close together (like boxster, etc). Don't need chrome tips.

I'm always confused why you see the 1.7s with dual tip ansa mufflers (I don't want duals on both side for my 2.0) , but the 2.0L cars always get a single tip. Also, I see there are some "GT" style mufflers for /6 cars... but then there are size differences amongst the /6s, could none of them be used on a 2056cc type IV based on a stock 2L ? Any other options?

Not that I don't like the above set up, but it's a little more Italian looking than I'm after for my 2.0/4, I actually have a very similar unit currently in my spares parts stash from a 1.7 car I recently purchased.

I'm after more of an original looking set up... like a dansk "banana" style sport muffler w/ two plain exit pipes coming straight out the back. The tangerine unit is an option I guess but the pipes curve and exit out the sides, from what I can tell.

I'm sure there's a good answer, but I'll go ahead and ask 'cause I don't know - why wouldn't a dansk unit for an original 2.0 /6 not work for a 2056cc 2.0/4 ? ... is it something as simple as the flanges not lining up the same between the 4 and the 6 ? or perhaps hanger bracket's the problem? Is there some magic inside that would kill power if used on the /4? Both engines are (were) 2.0L after all, and with the increased displacement to 2056cc for the /4 - the HP would be at least similar. In my research, apparently dansk did make a dual exit unit for 1.7/1.8 engine but it's NLA. Does not seem like they made one for the 2.0/4, why not? maybe they intended it to use the same unit as the original /6? Thoughts, info?

I did a special one similar to your search, for Tom Roth(troth). He might have posted a pic or two, not sure.

I’ll post pics and dimensions after work today. Looks good, but more importantly sounds great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Here's an old vid of this muffler Chris Foley did for me. With the valves properly adjusted, it sounds even better. I think those are 1.5" OD pipes spaced by 11 or 11.5" center to center (can't remember exactly).

Damn, video's not working. Trying to figure it out.
