I bought a new Bursch a few years back, I was never really happy with the tone or overall appearance of it ( It's for sale cheap).

After getting an upclose look at the Triad on Rhodyguys car I contacted Dave at Triad West .

I drove to his shop, was greeted with " there's beer & soda in the fridge let's have some fun". Beautiful shop with a nice lift, Dave takes great pride in his product.

I ended up hanging most of the day talking teeners, with Dave & his wife, Eric & Logan. Nice way to spend a sunny afternoon.

My car is very stock in appearance, I didn't want to cut the rear valance for the dual out. Dave suggested his "Sleeper" Solo II exhaust.

This may be old news to some of you but I was unaware of this configuration.

He turns the passenger side outlet 90 degrees down , standing upright you don't see the outlet.
A beautiful product, really a nice low tone( & it added 30HP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

Here's a few pics of Dave doing his thing, the gang & the final product.

I have the dual outlet, it must add 60hp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

It's a great muffler, you're going to enjoy that.

What does your car weigh, JP?

That looks FUN! Even with the smoke. Hell, that makes it better!



oh- I love the sound of my triad too. It compelled me to resolve all exhaust leaks and achieve perfect valve adjustment so all I ever hear is that deep song from the triad. Man its sweet.

Apparently it's not "magic smoke".

Yep,
Dave's a great guy and a welding fool. Made me happy with my Triad and the 1.7 SSHE's he modified to fit his 2.0 Triad dual outlet. Even did some extra work on my hanger for the muffler. If I'd know there was going to be some folks down there yesterday, I would have stopped by. I was out enjoying mine- too nice a day not to.

Hi Curt,

I was going to say if it added 30 hp now your doubled, and might be able to keep up with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
I like the Triad, Jon has, I am thinking he might be able to configure one for a V-8 car, there could be a good market out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Anyway, I saw your post on Sunday while I was out the door for a cruse myself, Too far for short notice.

Hope you can make it to the 9/14 pancake outing, I have something for you, someone gave me and it perfect for you.

Tony

P.S. I think your tires are on backwards, Don't you want the >>>> of the tread facing forward???

Nevermind There right I'm backward

Hi Tony,

Something for me???

I have a three day golf tourney this coming weekend so I won't make the pancake function.

I'm hoping we can all get together one more time before the rain sets in.

Well it was going to be a suprise but a friend Reps for Pet products and gave me a couple shirts with the Greenie logo and bone on it.

I'll pass it to someone who will deliverit to you.

3 day tourn. sounds good. I took 2nd low net with a gross 75 / net 65 last week at Dungeness. Come on out when you have a chance, We'll play for a Tee shirt.
