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!! |

I had a first generation Foley type header on a race car.
Once you get the header down to a single flange, you can bolt on any muffler you want. I had two setups and finally settled on one. The first was a $25.00 cherry bomb from thrush, this bolted on to a three bolt flange. the second was a hush thrush (again $25.00) muffler but it was an oval muffler similar to all the modern ones for V8 type cars running dual exhaust. With one muffler it was perfect for the car, had a great tone, was cheap, and had very little back pressure so the car could scream at the higer rpm range. The key was decibal levels for my choice...I need to stay under 95ish of they will pull out the sound meter. Rich |
