I currently have a stock 2.0L with SSIs and Bursch with Turbo muffler.
With the engine in stock trim will I find any noticeable power differences with Kerry Hunter headers or similar. Is a bone stock 2.0L going to see any appreciable increases in power by changing exhaust. If I do go to headers, will changing to a less restrictive aircleaner help power. I thought I had read somewhere that headers on a stock engine actually reduce power at certain rpms. All right have at it.

I am not that worried about the minimal amount of HP gains. for now I will stay with my SSIs and work on the exhaust system I have a rear portion of the exhaust that exits in the middle with a flange so I am thinking about running a stinger with baffles in it for some tracks and mostly open at others like Th and Bw.
The exhaust I have available looks a lot like a system off of a Bug. Flange exits pipes in the dead center. Center mounted stinger should fit the bill. I can also fab up a turbo muffler to exit in the stock location with this setup. I think Sebring or some such has a similar set up, unlike the Bursch that has a collector aimed to the side instead towards the rear. Also the Bursch has a welded collector instead of a flange for exchanging muffler types. I will wait and see. A good friend of mine just bought a 914-6 conversion with a 2.2 motor. Along with the car also comes a 2.0L-6 a 2.2E and a 2.7S motor. I may be getting the 2 or 2.2 for my car in the not too distant future. I won't even tell you how much he paid since it is absolutely ridiculously low. Comes with a nice trailer, two sets of wheels, 2 spare trannys, and a whole bunch of other spares like 914-6 front and rear brakes and control arms. All along with the car that is completely street legal and set up for TT, with all the suspension goodies, running a 2.2S motor. I had a shot at it but passed to continue the build of my current 2.0L 4. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) |
