Addendum to HFC:

Man, this thing is a low flying UFO, it flat out rumbles the hell out of traffic, but it's not harsh, no ping,

Balls is all. Awesome. My favorite "non-suspension" upgrade. The engine responds better, the tq curve moved up very slightly, and you can't hear any nasty 'valve' mimics, none exists anymore.

Cheap? Not super. Expensive? Not really.

If I had heard... and driven this before I bought it, I'd have been willing to pay more, it's just that awesome.

Thanks to Chris, and Sean for pushing me in the right direction: Mission Accomplished.

I felt exactly the same - HFC when I put my triad headers and exhaust on the car. Truly transforms the whole driving experience. I was almost embaressed by the monza exhast VW bug sound that I had before.

Actually, before I got the triad, I couldn't take it anymore and took the whole muffler off leaving just the 4 pipes from the heat exchangers.

Now that was HFC LOUD. Sounded like a cessna at takeoff, cept louder by 10. People would turn around an look if you were into the throttle even a little bit. But it was fun while it lasted. Of course the power was less than with the proper equal length 4=>1 header but it was only temporary.

enjoy,
dave

I know how you feel ...

I love starting the car and, when the idle settles to a low rumble, just sitting there listening to it before launching myself in whatever direction I'm heading.

SCHWEET ...

Few more miles on it, it's very nice. I have 647 miles on this motor, and it's waking up!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

The third valve adjust went perfect, and only one valve needed a tweak. This muffler on this motor is a monster...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I bought my first 914 around 22 years ago, I haven't been this excited since my first ride with the wheel in my hand.

Damnit this thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) is what I wanted!

Glad you are satisfied. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The cool thing is, you are supporting a guy who is making 914 product and is not part of a corporation. In otha words, he does it outta love. Those Triads sound pretty mean on a 911 as well......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I don't think any of us is part of a corporation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's gotta be love, 'cause I know I could make more money working at In-in-Out Burger making milkshakes than making metal chips in my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Are all Triad exhaust systems dual in, dual out??

I'm running a European Racing header and have yet to get a muffler (the turbo was going to be my muffler.... )

Dont know what your talking about Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Dual in dual out, I believe.
They are making a muffler for the header systems like European racing as we speak. I want to look into it. I have a Euro racing muffler, and it is sounds good, but it is starting to rust already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

FWIW I think the triads are crude, like a bunch of cherry bombs welded together.

They do however work quite well

besides my extra 2.0 ss he.s. guess what the new red car is getting. ssshhh, we don't want every one to get one. for about $150 or so more why bother with a bursch? wait till you header guys see dave's setup with his final. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

kevin

crude? wtfayta. they are nothing like the e.r.'s. with his 914-6 headers you don't have to screw with the linkage.

if you contact/talk to dave, ask him about a "final" for what ever your pleasure is. it's a complete unit that bolts up to your h.e.'s (2.0 type only, no 1.7 or 1.8). just do a search for "triad". there should be lots of pictures.

Tomorrow, when I get the Jack-o-lantern on my car, I'll get some pics.

There is a pic of Sean's car in a thread a week and a half ago.

I cannot find anything regarding Triad mufflers for porsche cars.
Lots of Tirad web sites, but not related to porsches.
Is there a link, and if so can we post it in the links/parts area???

Yes, this header system rocks. I just picked up my car on sunday, with new engine, and so i have not been able to open her up yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . But after i get the first 500 miles on, it will kick some azz. As for the sound, i started the engine, got out of the car, and looked to see who else had started their car, as mine sounded entirely different, and STRONG. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
