Hi all,
At the track today my muffler/megaphone hanger broke. Does anyone know where to get this type with the holes? I thought it was pretty cool, except for the breaking part. It did last several years. I know I can use a stock 2.0 one for this application but I don't think I have one at the moment and I think it's heavier and boring lookiing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Thanks! |

I remember those exhaust brackets when posted on the forum several years ago. I wondered at the time how much lighter they were versus a stock 914 muffler bracket. The stock brackets are steel metal stampings with the strength and stiffness increased by the curvature of the stamped shape. The light weight version appears to be a flat sheet with a welded rod added to increase the stiffness. Add more rod, add more weight.
Does anybody know the weight difference? |
