looking for suggestions for exhaust systems to eliminate the VW clanger noise from the 914. What have you done and how do you like the results.

The Tangerine (customers) has a nice rumble, but is actually a very quiet exhaust...for an aircooled. No problem talking to your passenger or listening to the stereo with it at highway speed, even with the roof off. |

How do you determine what diam. street header system from Tangerine should be used with the Street exhaust? |

I have a Tangerine mega street header 1-7/8" and an EVO2 muffler that was on an 2.3, very nice sound, bit of a cool growl, but again not too loud. |
