I am converting my 75 over to a 74 set-up for H.E. just acquired S.S. HE's, my originals are shot!, current set up by p.o. is monza which i kind of like- but want what would be best for performance etc. and i have to change to match up to the 74 trapezoid shape flange.- so- those of you that have had various set-ups, what is your favorite for sound/looks/performance? this is strictly street D.D. any advice you can give would be appreciated.
sooo- monza, bursch, original stock, other type IV vw?

I am thinking of going this route on the conversion - kinda digging the RSR look.

Here is the one I built for the 2.0. I opened up a 1.7L can, plugged up the stock tail pipe and welded on two new tail pipes made from race megaphones. Car ran great. was loud, but I liked it.

Very similar..... the note is a bit more melow.

I bought it off ebay from an individual who new the Borla manufacturer and had several new, never used units. Originally sold for $1100, I paid under $500. I understand they are no longer available unless used.

LOL,
They're a lot louder than stock. We just had one like that in our shop.

WRT the Triad,
We had one of those in our shop recently too. There isn't anything I liked about it.
IMO they're fugly, loud, and mediocre design. YMMV

No I haven't. I am just now getting back into my gauge work and will let you know if I get it done.

BTW, while rebuilding my engine (a 1.8/L-jet conv. to 2.0 w/96mm euro p&c's, 2.0 crank w/web cam) I built my own fuel rails w/pressure gauges. They work very nice with the std pressure regulator @ 32psi. I plan to fit an adjustable regulator????? Looks great in the engine bay. I will post some pic's later.

how do yours compare in the spectrum of all of these others?- i know yours seem to test out great on hp etc. how do they compare sound-wise? - on a scale of 1-10
10 being loudest, stock being a 4, where does yours, triad etc sit?

I would love to see how that looks- i had originally ordered the fuel rails from A.A. but they never got them in, so i am still on my 2.0 stock ones- no pressure gauge connectors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I was wondering about the Triad. I have another thread going on hearing a rattling sound inside my Dansk.

Put my foot on to cover the tailpipe to check for leaks, and the rattle went away, and came back when I revved the engine.

Anyone on this thread ever see a Dansk banana go bad and make noise in just a couple of years?

And I have heard good things about the Triad, so another different opinion is REALLY interesting.

Need to replace the Dansk, pretty sure anyway, and I am unsure what to do.
