One more test to run...

I am in the middle of a ton of change here due to the "New endeavor" and it may take another month to get the time to do the testing as extensively as needed.

Thanks Jake. There you go with that New Endeavor again

Can't wait to hear about that also.

Wasn't trying to bug you to much. Just can't wait to get this header and see how it fits a Splitty Bus.

Happy New Year

What's up?

I don't care about the testing, I want one right now! Thanks, Suapvert

Group buy is closed as of yesterday. The A-1 system can be ordered at the retail price now and anytime at www.type4store.com

4-5 weeks for delivery at the present time, after this we will have systems in stock.

anyone have some pics of the a-1 header installed with a 2.5" maganflow on a Beetle? I'm trying to get an idea about how far I can expect the muffler to hang out the back.

Right now Jake has the only header in existence, so unless he's installed it into the Bug, we won't have any.

If you want to see pics of the header alone in a car, check out this page:

Tiger took these after he finished the header, but before shipping to Jake.

If anyone kept or finds the results of the dyno testing please leave here!
Then we know what we have to build or buy exactly.
Seeing as he gave up and never finished and sold it....
No pictures of that 'econoheader' even.

Best I can do is from memory... The A1 spanked everything tested, few% here and there and at a fraction of the cost of the Tangerine header, even if bought in SS.
The sidewinder version lost a few hp in some RPM ranges because the runners were too long (packaging issue) but performed well overall.
You can still buy them from A1.

I vaguely remember the Tangerine making a few more ponies.
At a few times the cost…

Several econoheaders made it to people IIRC.

Something about not using stub pipes made it bad to sell to customers as engine widths would vary.
