Hi All -
I found the 914 megaphones with the cookie cutters that are made for the 4 banger cars. They are 21" long - whats up with that? That puts them 15-16" beyond the rear of the car - really hokey in my opinion. These were made to connect to the heat exchanger. Is there a header system that should be used so that they exit the car at a more reasonable length? Is this wht the GT's used the dual outlet muffler based on the stock system?
Hmmm..... bummer.

you guys are going to have like zilch scavenging effect with megaphones coming off of heat exhangers.

you *may* make slightly more hp up top, but i doubt that it will produce more power overall. louder ain't necessarily faster, less backpressure ain't necessarily faster.*

get a 4-1 with a straight pipe if you're serious about open exhaust.




*of course, it sounds like it!
