Anyone have the dual tip exhaust setup on their speedy?

I am interested in putting the dual tip exhaust system on my
speedster. (2) dual exhaust tips.

Does anyone have one of these on their speedy? Are they quite
or loud?

adding more tips doesnt make it louder.

I had a center exit 2.25", but then cut it off and added another 2.25"

Are you looking at the Ansa or Pace Setter Monza exhaust? I have the Monsa my Speedster but haven't run it. I had used them old 914's and thought the sound was pleasant - mid range with Thunderbird/Bursh being at high end and stock being low. I had to bend tips down 1/4" (might be more) to clear rear valence on Speedster.

I have the dual tipped Monza on Super Silver Haze. The car is a 2110 w/Dels and has a real nice low hammer like sound when accelerating and between 3-4000 RPMs the sound is loud and spectacular. To my ear any way.

At first I thought they looked kinda tacky the way a single pipe splits - looked funny, but the car really sounds great. I do have to be careful there is a cop bait thing with the sound...

Come on by and I'll take you for a ride, play the tune 1-4-3-2...

VROOOM VROOOM.....

oh - those ones.

do some homework (TS) - they look cool, but they do not add any power, in fact...

I have had several Monza style exhausts on Beeltes that just collapsed/imploded, so when that style is requested we modify a sidewinder header/muffler with Monza tips.

Monza exhaust, if you are running a bit rich, they will actually clog up....pure junk. ~Alan

Hmmm mine is 6-7 years old....works like a charm and the sound, get the fek out! Never had a problem with them at all! I prefer 4 out the back than clumping all the tubes into one.

Geez, Carey! That blue car is gorgeous!

I seem to recall that someone (Jake Raby, maybe?) did some tests and the Monza actually reduced power. That's what I had originally. Now it's A1 Sidewinder all the way!

A Monza exhaust was on the 2180cc when I bought the car. As part of the rebuild of the motor to make it super reliable and cool running, I put the A1 Sidewinder 1 5/8" on. It alone dropped the running temperature by 20 degrees. Large, high performance engines require a larger exhaust system with low back pressure to get the heat out.

In all fairness, the Monza is probably OK in a stock or very mild motor.

The quality of the ceramic coated A1 Sidewinder is superb and the Magnaflow SS muffler is only loud in city traffic, which is a plus. At cruise, it quiets down. It was one of the best upgrades made to the motor.

Good posts, keep 'em coming, I need to learn more for a new build.

Cary, interesting about the implode thing...

Mike, what's the secret to posting full sized photos?

Well I hope Mike got his answer here.... I do not know if its any louder, I've never had any other type?

I heated where the pipes went into the muffler and was able to bend it down to get 1/2" clearance from the rear valence.

Thanks everyone for their replies. My speedy is down at JPS
having some dual tips installed - - -should get it back
tomorrow. I download some of the pictures that were posted
so John understands what I was looking to do. You all have
some nice cars, hope to see you in Morro Bay at the end
of the month.

I currently have the dual tip Monza style on my 1600cc dp,, and it is pretty good. Although I don't think it is particularly durable,, since this is the 2nd one I have owned (first one cracked). For low displacements,, I wondered if this unit would be a good choice.

Say,, would anyone happen to know what the center to center distance would be on that pipe's exits ?? It would be same as a VW's valance cutouts.

CIP1 just answered my question on that OEM vw replacement exhaust, mentioned above. It is 13 inches, center to center, on the exit tips.

I finally had to retire Blackie's trademark 4-pipe header. Always wanted a center exhaust so I modified a Bugpack Hideaway header muffler to be a "nearly center exhaust. Much quieter and I'm getting used to it.
It growls a little when I get on it.
