I have a 1975 1.8 stock engine. Prior owner put a Monza muffler on it and it is really loud and starting to get holes in it.
I use it as an occassional car, mostly summer but as long as no snow drive it in winter so I want heat, I dont mind some noise but its REALLY loud now. So long as I am changing mufflers I woyuldnt mind picking up a few hp. any ideas? |

The late-style exhaust is not very efficient. For heat and a little (probably very little!) boost in power, you can backdate to the earlier style exhaust. SSIs are nice because they don't rust, but going with the stock mild steel ones works well too.
You'll need the appropriate muffler hanger to go with whatever heat exchangers you switch to (e.g., 1.7 or 2.0) and a muffler to match. There is a much wider range of choices for the early-style exhaust than the 75-76 one. --DD |
