So I have a couple more things to deal with before I upgrade my exhaust but I still want to get a good idea of what I want to do with it. I have a 72 1.7 with 93mm pistons (basically a 1.8) with 1.8/1.7 ssi heat exchangers and a monza ehaust. The monza muffler is really heavy and apparently restricts exhaust flow but i love how loud it is. Im wondering if A) swap out the monza for something else, triad (don't really like the look), custom muffler.. ect. and keep the ssi's B) Swap out the heat exchangers for kerry hunter, european race haeders, custom headers, ect along with a different muffler. I want your opinion, I don't really care about having heat as it does not get cold here in southern cali, I want an exhaust system that can possibly bring me a bit more hp, looks good, sounds nice and loud, and doesn't cost a fortune $$$$. Love the look of the 914/6 gt muffler, too bad I don't have a 6!

I know I'm about to be completely flammed for this, but I recently bought a ANSA exhaust off a world memeber, and I couldn't be happier with it.
I was running the cherry bomb modified exhaust you see in the pics which was really loud, but very light. The new exhaust is much much quieter, but a bit more heavy. I just put it on, and it's in great shape, so I can't comment on rust, but it seems pretty solid to me. I have a '73 1.7, with stainless steel heat exchangers.... it's quiet enough to talk to someone standing next to the car and you can actually drive with the roof on without going deaf, but yet it still sounds nice when you get on it... |
