I am wondering if it would be possible to fab up my own exhaust system for my 1.8L engine. I figure i might be able to save some money this way, instead of buying a brand new one from AA or whomever and i'll learn how to make an exhaust as well. Just wanted to see what other people have done and how they went about it. Pictures would be great. I plan on getting rid of the heat exchangers if that helps out at all!
Thanks in advance everybody!! |

Find yourself some used stainless heat exchangers for 300 or so and be done with it. No rust, never paint. Get a bursch muffler. This is what many people here run. PM me if interested I have a friend that has a pair of these stainless that are made for the 1.7/1.8. I don't know what he wants for them , but I bet it would be in that 300-350 range.

I hate to say it (for those of you that have and like you Bursch) but Bursch exhausts sound like poop and don't help your HP any at all. Triad or Tangerine are the only ones that sound good the are not "custom". and like jd74914 said, what fun is that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I love the Triads for a street car myself. If I was to make a track 4 I would put up the money for a Tangerine. |
