With a 2.0 /4 ... Is there any options for getting the look (without sacrificing performance) of the dual exhaust like you see on the factory /6 and in particular the factory GT cars? I thought Dansk had an offering for this, but can not locate it now. Basically I'm after the look of separated tips coming straight out, but not really close together (like boxster, etc). Don't need chrome tips.
I'm always confused why you see the 1.7s with dual tip ansa mufflers (I don't want duals on both side for my 2.0) , but the 2.0L cars always get a single tip. Also, I see there are some "GT" style mufflers for /6 cars... but then there are size differences amongst the /6s, could none of them be used on a 2056cc type IV based on a stock 2L ? Any other options? |

QUOTE BUT what about a 1.7/1.8 muffler on a 2.0 if using the appropriate HE's ? Any obvious drawbacks with doing that? That works fine. You need to make sure the HEs, muffler, and muffler hanger all match. But they bolt up to any of the 914-4 motors and work about the same. Very likely better than any of the 75-76 exhaust; probably a very little less good on a 2.0 than the 73-74 2.0 exhaust. --DD I got it, and thanks for the details. I figured exhaust pulses played into it IF ANYTHING. I've just tended in the past, to be skeptical about how much the insides of these (dansk for '68-'74) mufflers actually differ .. I had guessed they were basically the same internally and therefore unlikely to differ in respect to their effect on engine performance. Of course the flange spacings would be different across there different engines. But without opening each one up and seeing, there's no way of knowing for sure the difference internally. Maybe I'm not giving dansk enough credit in their tuning department though, and perhaps a muffler's not just a muffler after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . So I'll stick with the conventional wisdom. thanks again. |
