Hi All,
I was thinkin' about goin' with S&S headers & muffler - street use. I currently have a Bursch exhaust system that's seen better days. In the past I've had great results using S&S headers on chevy small blocks but have no info on S&S systems installed on 2.0 914's. I checked out their website at http://www.ssheaders.com/ but their website suckz. Not one picture or performance info available for us teener's. Maybe I should have (my) headers powder coated and just replace the muffler... or??? Whatdayathink??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

I got one of their "performance" systems for my Type III...not a good design. I tried explaining to the "head engineer" about the need for keeping the stock cooling system intact but he wouldn't listen...very close-minded person (doesn't seem to understand that most owners don't live in California and Arizona, like it'd make a difference). The only thing I would recommend from that place is their merged collector. Build your exhaust to properly fit the engine and the collector but don't rely on their

RUN.
One of our members got ripped by them. The advertise "header" and it is nothing but a muffler replacement. If the price is too good to be true... then it probably is. B |

QUOTE(d7n7master @ Feb 26 2004, 07:29 PM) ...because??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) because it is a great design (actually works) and it is affordable (Around $450 I think). Get it jet hot coated, and its ballgame (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

Out of curiosity, what exhaust would you recommend for a turbo rotary powered 914? The exhaust will exit out one side of the engine and out through a single muffler. It probably has to be stainless because the EGT's on a rotary can exceed 900 degrees celcius. I know some who have installed glass packs only to have them burnt out in short order by the exhaust from a rotary. It would also have to be fairly free flowing for the turbos.

On a RX7 race car we MADE the muffler using lava rocks. It was the only thing we could find that didnt MELT.

Seriously? Never heard of anyone doing that before. The good thing about the rotary is it has a strong, hot exhaust pulse - perfect for turbocharging. It can spool a turbo that engines of similar displacement would have trouble moving. I have a 87 RX7 Turbo that I used to race in solo events but has been up on blocks in the shop for a few years. The exhaust on it comes from Racing Beat. I don't know what the specs on the metal are but I'm pretty sure it's not made from lava rock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
