Alphaogre,

Get with MWAYT , the post above yours, ( you are both in San Diego ) and listen for yourself. I was at a 914 gathering and was accused of having a 6 in mine. Nope, it's a four! It is a bit louder, but throaty.
Don't think you will be disappointed.
Tom


Tom,

I have heard it on the 2.0's and they sound great. I'm curious how much different it sounds for the smaller engin.

I appreciate the comments I will definitely keep trying and will send another email.

Carr914 where did you pick up that custom valance? I was going to fab my old one but if I could grab one like that I'd do it?


The person that was selling the Triad here in the Classifieds 6 Months ago included the Valance

Guys,
I have a new Triad in the power coat shop (jet hot finish) and need a dual (2) hole valance like carr914?? Can anyone tell me where to get a steel one?? I hate to cut up my good single rear valance.

Sorry for the double reply post. Same here on the valance if I don't have to use the single I would prefer to keep it and not use it.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this post. It is a great pat on the back and it makes it all worth it in the end. I have been busy, mostly with overseas sales. I am catching up. I'm working on providing chrome tips as an option. again, thanks to all

I had a guy here a few years ago that made me a dual outlet valance that perfectly fits. I kept my old one just in case. Unfortunately he is no longer active here due to personal issues. But there are guys that can do this or you can get a fiberglass one and make your own.

Dave, have had mine for several years and love it. I would be interested in the chrome tip option. If you have these to ship out to be installed locally. Please let me know

I found the perfect tip that slips over the 2 1/2 tip on my exhaust. It needs to be shortened but fits tight. like so tight that paint may be an issue. typically spot welded,it will fit good under the valence. same piece is available in polished stainless steel.

One more note, I retired last June and now do Triad full time. After working both jobs, (union carpenter for 35+years and Triad since 2002) I needed a break, time off. I am rebuilding my engine, getting the wife's 914 car going, mowing the yard and doing personal things. Trying to upgrade the web site and do more advertising like tee shirts and such. Things will get better.

Thanks Dave. Do you have a timetable on new production and pricing for the Triad?

At some point, I fully expect my cheap Monza style exhaust to disintegrate. Have you considered a variant of the Triad with dual tips pointing rearwards, instead of the 911 style corner angled setup?

It might be nice as well to see if one of the various fiberglass body manufacturers would be willing to set up tooling for Triad compatible valences. That way we can either order them directly from you, or at least have somewhere to order one that's ready to go out of the box.

I just picked up my Ceramic coated "Triade" muffler for my 2.0 liter 914. I'll get it installed before Memorial Day & anxious to compare the sound against my "Bursch" muffler. As soon as I hear the Triad, the Bursch will be up FS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Still looking for someone to modify or buy a rear steel valance for the dual outlets???
