Exhausts

[bushoarder]

Probably well asked...

I am running a Cali converted t4 in an early bay and it runs well. I used to have an empi single quiet pack header and home made turbo muffler.

I swapped to an empi dual quiet pack and lost power / performance as each bank of cylinders are Siamese and don’t scavenge.

I’ve since bought a bursch system from a 914 to fit.

What experience of these headers do people have - what’s best?

I have a bunch of silencers and I want to make a twin bas style system that’s quiet and free flowing. It is a camper and the drone of the turbo muffler is not great!!

I made my own, I've a similar system on a split camper , a triflow muffler combined with a resonator normally kills the drone .

That looks stunning!

I do plan on something similar in my bug when I get there - I’ve saved your picture. Amazing work - what size tubing did you use?

Agreed on the first box, that’s what ‘normal’ cars use as their front silencer I think - pleases to read it does work well on your setup. #ideasstealing

With the bus I want to use heater boxes so I’m stuck with a compromise anyway. I don’t have time to make one at the moment as we use the bus almost weekends hence I’ve stockpiled parts!

Does a type 4 prefer a header with 4-1 or 2-1,2-1? Anyone know?

2.5 inch pipe and mufflers , (engine is 2.6lt) the Camper has 2.25 inch , (2.3 lt ) . if you don't have a proper 4 in to 1 collector or a tuned Tri Y system In my opinion you're giving away a lot of horsepower and most likely causing the heads to run hotter than they would with a good exhaust . I just bought the mandrel bends and a bit of straight pipe and pieced them together .

That sounds great.

I have one of these headers:



It’s a 2 into 1 then 2 into 1 again. Ignore the box. What do you reckon as a header?

I don't have any info on them but the pairing looks correct for a Tri Y ,you can run the exhaust system to the left around the engine .

Yeah I thought that it looked ok and suites heater boxes plus running two silencers in series.

I think the header pipes aren’t equal length though, but it’s gotta be better than my empi twin quiet pack!

No Ephry . Turbo Thomas has a very good reputation and does have some good looking exhausts .http://www.ttexhausts.com/vw-hideaway-exhaust/

I have one of these headers:

I have this same header. I'm using it with VS header pipes and a two, round, inline muffler set up like the BAS tail pipe.

Unfortunately, the engine is not assembled so I can't report whether or not it works well.

I will say those Turbo Thomas offerings are pretty nice

That sounds good! Could you post a pic of what you’ve done?
