I have this on my new acquisition! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I am excited to get it started and hear this exhaust system. Looks like a EuroRace. I had one for a number of years. Its a good system, but not a great system. Sounds good though. I changed out of it as I wanted to be able to add heat to defog my windshield. Still have not done that yet. One of these days. Zach |

Really if people look @ whats for sale they tend to say wow that's a price.but the work the maker puts in from development etc puts in is a fair chunk of what you are paying.
IMO anything you can build yourself will be a compromise ,however don't be put off and go for it . |

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. But what kind of fun is that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) don’t let em discourage you. It isn’t as though you don’t know what the easy route is.

Thread is 10 years old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Yes it is! And not much has really changed on the 914 exhaust scene. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Except that the Tangerine Exhaust has been further improved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I doubt any development has been done to the other 914 "performance" exhaust systems. This picture is from 2013, already different from the 2008 version, and I've just started building systems with some subtle new changes. |

If you can weld you can build a system. This is not a 914 but I used some of the old system.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-8123-1539918821.1.jpg) If you have the old system you have some parts to work from. |

I'm going to be trying to do my own system in the future Winters. I'd love the Tangerine system but when you add the heat option and then another 35% for shipping and customs fee's its worth trying myself. Plus I have a Scart banana muffler that I dont want to give up the sound of. The goal is to build a Stainless system thats less restrictive than the stock 2.0 heaterboxes and still retains the heat on both sides and uses stub pipes for easy removal.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Oh, and by the way, in recent advertisements, Bursch has indicated that its systems are now coated with high-temp paint! Does that qualify as new development?
