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 like the sound of the supertrapp, 1.) does the different ID for the tube affect the supertrapp at all or 2.) is that just for different exhaust setups, some with larger tubes other with smaller tubes? I figured it was the second one, but might as well ask.
I think i might buy a super trapp and work on getting the headers from the 4-1 setup. |

They just offer different sizes according to what your exhaust system looks like. I think they recommend you use different size plates for different horsepower engines. I'm using this muffler on both my honda and 914 http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku With the honda I'm running 3 plates and it's nearly as quiet as the stock muffler the car came with. On the 914 I'm running 4 plates, and you can hardly hear the exhaust over my 40mm dellortos. I originally started with 6 plates in each car, and removing plates just kept increasing torque quite nicely. I'm sure you'll be able to find the right combination according to what you plan to use the car for. My car has a stock cam and nicely ported heads, so it seems to like a bit of backpressure. Going from 6 plates to 4 seemed to improve the torque, but it still has pretty good top end up to the rev limiter ( 7,000 ). |
