Show us your exhaust.....

[Klaus]

I'm looking for a replacement exhaust for my bay. The current one sounds terrible and I think it is costing me loads of HP. Tried to source a standard box with pea shooters but after trying to fit two different ones offered I am sorry to say have given up....

Let's see what you guys and gals are running...... And if possible give us some feedback on it... Likes/dislikes

I don't have pics for you. But, when I bought Skilpad (69 westy), she was fitted with one of those cheap-ass 4-1s with just a resonator and no silencer. It sounded like an aeroplane.

I soon got sick of the noise and took it around to Speedy's and got them to fit a regular car silencer in place of the resonator, and to extend the outlet to exit at the corner like a stock exhaust. The larger silencer tucked very nicely inside the rear valence. And the sound was great! Probably the cheapest and most effective route for replacing a bay exhaust.

Gill's bus has a nice quiet exhaust. Also a 4-1 collector and then it turns driver side, then towards the front through a silencer, then across to the left side, and towards the back through another silencer and out the back on the left hand side. Nice.

This I think is the same one I am running. Was Thinking of doing the same but a lot of the speedy type shops in my area don't like doing work on the buses as they can make more money just fitting STD stuff to toasters. I will enquire though again and maybe I get lucky.

Is this the one from Volkspares? Was there any fitting issues? Does it provide any HP benefit?

Ron, is this a STD, out of the shop exhaust like a kadron or empi quiet pack or did you have it made up?

My opinion is go to a custom exhaust place like DeGraaf or Cheetah exhausts and let them make you a stainless exhaust to suite your needs. Pay the money once and forget about it.

Those resonators are loud enough to set off alarms in carparks etc.

My folks were not amused when it set off their car's alarm when I once came home at 2am

This something we were playing with a few years ago - the 1.9 & 2.1 waterpumpers exhaust 4 into 1 fit if you cut off and reweld on left side banks flanges - you then have a very neat central collector at right rear of car and you can easily add whaterver silencer you want in traight line out to the rear

We did a few of those on beetles too . nice neat conversion
