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!

Tangerine really does sound nice, but so much $$$. Does anyone know if triad makes different styles of mufflers? Or do they all pretty much look the same with the exhaust tips on both sides?

If you're not concerned with squeezing the most out of your engine, I've just completed prototype testing of a new 100% stainless muffler for 2L heat exchangers. It will be available in multiple outlet styles including stock (left corner), twin center tip (fairly loud), dual spread tips, and opposite corner (for those who prefer to be different). The muffler is much lighter and more compact than our previous EVO IV design. One with a stock outlet is on my car right now, after testing the twin tip for a few weeks. Sound level is very comfortable with the stock outlet style. |
