Getting rid of the quad tip/Monza exhaust

I'm not wild about that look. I have been looking online for stock looking dual exhaust. There are zillions!!!!! Can you guys recommend a nice sounding, cost effective stock looking exhaust? Thanks guys, you all are a real help. Keith

I use the Hide-Away is a simple bolt on, there is a supplied hanger strap that is welded to the exhaust, it needs to be bent slightly to reach the 2x2 steel frame work, it gets bolted up using a self tapping hex bolt. It take 3 minutes to loosen 2 of the 3 muffler to header bolts then swing the muffler out of the way for valve adjustments. The muffler runs along the right valve cover, if you want to change the muffler to something louder, it is a easy replacement. ~Alan

Hi Keith,
I too am trying to source such a muffler (I also have a Monza and am not enamoured with the quad pipe look)
I have a 1700cc type 1 motor with heat exchangers which I wish to retain and am looking for a muffler similar to the stock one I had on my old 356 A coupe-twin big bore pipes and a nice mellow bass sound.
I am considering perhaps purchasing a stock 356 Sport muffler and getting a muffler shop to marry the VW Monza system inlets to the 356 muffler ($775 from NLA).
Alternatively, I wonder if anyone has had experience moddifying a Monza to a twin pipe exit ?
Also have you considered a Tri Mill-it has the look you're after but haven't heard one and looking at the size of the muffler (old "hot dog" size), could be rather loud.
Regards,
Phillip Blacklock

phil try the tri-mill exhaust, its cheap and you can get it with the jet-hot coating. bill

If you try the Tri-Mill you may want to get it from Vintage.

I think they have altered it to clear in the back.

Vintage declined to supply one of theirs stating concerns that it might not fit my car. Fair enough.
However, I have just had a rush of blood and bought a widebody in RHD (I live in Australia) with a 2 litre type 4 with a big bore dual exit exhaust, so the monza on the Apal is no longer an issue !

Cut off the dual quad tips and weld on a single outlet either side --- cheap fix.

I cut off the quad tips, and welded on some 2" pipe bent to exit like stock. It'll do for now.

Does anybody know if the tri mil twin tip fits a CMC? Ironic enough, I heard a nice sounding bug tonight in Tyne gas station and asked the kid what exhaust. It too was a 1776 and he has a tri mil with heat boxes and all on it... Tiny bit loud, but it wasn't bad. Anybody know anything about these?

I think VS alters a Trill Mill to fit the speedster ?

I am putting a Vintage Speed "Speedster" setup on it.. I'll let you know.

Could you please elaborate on what the Vintage Speed "speedster exhaust" is? What are they doing differently. What models will it fit? I had purchased an exhaust and the tailpipes where too high. I did not want to cut fiberglass. They sent me a CAD file in order to let them know how much to drop the tips. They were goign to weld one up custom for me. Pretty cool. At that point I needed the money for somethign else, car related I am sure.

The email from them is as follows..
" will it clear the rear valance"?

"Dear Sir,

update, it will not clear the CMC valance. I cut 1'' eyebrows in my valance. You can't see unless you get down and look close.

I have the VS "Tri-Mill" exhaust on my VS Speedster looks original and sounds great. Placed a broom stick up each pipe (honest) and bent the outlets down slightly to clear the rear valance. I beleive the price was about $125.00 with shipping to Pa.
