Show us your exhaust system!

How about posting some pictures of your exhaust systems if you've got something really cool. Let us all take a look! What's the best high performance system?

The Sidewinder is avail from www.aircooled.net

The other one is Scat (for VW type 1) with an altered hide out muffler.

Here is mine, really more of a competition setup for the track.

Kirk's exhaust.......

Vince, I can't see it in the picture!!

Tony, glad to have you back, it's been a while! By the way, my daughter's name is Andrea too.....

Michael,
Here is custom Boxter style ehhaust system from Intermeccanica. Pipes, mufflers are tucked up under car, won't drag on sharp inclines.

Robert

I love your exhaust system set up.Very cool!!

Robert, that is one COOL exhaust system!

Same system as Bob Millers beautiful Speedster except the system is powdercoated black and the exhaust exits center rear valance edge with a polished SS oval tip. I believe there is a nice shot of the IM system on Bill Steeles super nice Roadster in his file showing a corner rear exit. This is the system IM uses on most installations.

The IM systems are easy to remove for valve lash adjustment: Unhook the exhaust from the header (5 bolts), loosen the bottom rear transaxle bolt 1 turn (the exhaust system is hinged on this bolt). Lower the rear of the system to the ground (front remains on hinge). Adjust valves, lift system into place, install 5 bolts, tighten front pivot bolt. It adds maybe 5 minutes to a valve adj.

One shot below shows Scott Sloan's beautiful IM Speedster on the road with a great looking system

Jim, I must say again.....Your ride is really.........SWEET!!! What a GREAT looking car!

Scott Sloan's car is to die for too, don't you think?

My car is quite a bit lower than most so I had to tuck the header and muffler above the bottom of the motor so they wouldn

here's mine

Ricardo, exactly my point.....my opinion is "less is more"
forget all that fancy $hit....

Vince, ......


ahhhh, nevermind.

come on Jim, cat got your tongue

Vince!

I'm glad to see that old soldiers (like us) don't die, they just stay 'beaucoup dinky dou'!

Vince; I think I'll definitely install a system like yours in my car but will probably swap the stock heater boxes for 1-1/2" ones.

I have changed the mufflers over from BMW's to Stainless Magnaflows.

Ricardo and fellow speedster owners,
Yeah, I've been busy with work and family! I currently take care of my parents who both are recovering from major surgeries and my wife has been going through therapy after a big scare! My girls and I have been trying to deal with it and we are pulling along.

My cars are the only hobby I have and when I am feeling the "downs" I get into the garage and tinker. All of my neighbors are "wusses" and do not tinker or do any "garage work" and so I do not have many to share my hobby with except the web and some locals who need help with their sandrails, buses or bugs. I am currently slowly working on two Type 4 motors for both of my cars, speedy will get a 2056-cc with a homemade Cali conversion and the 912 a large-bore stroker with either a DTM or 912E tin, which I have both already. My 911 fan cooled 2110-cc runs superbly well and strong but I always remember the 914 and I loved the way it drove due to the engine characteristics and so I want to go to the Type 4. Winter, an unheated small garage, and the short days are making it tough to do anything. I will try to log on more often and share some information.

BTW, my oldest girl (7 yr) is Alexandra Karina and my youngest (5 yr) is Andrea Zazil. Andrea has claimed "Speedy" while Alex wants "Dayla" (my red 1965 912). They could have them provided that they get me a replacement! LOL

Congrats Tony! Your car with a Type 4 will be a serious machine!!

My home made system.

Janne, what's with the tailights in the silver car?

OOps sorry for the picture above I picked the wrong one. Now I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
Eddie

If I remember well, Janne had those lights temporarily to pass inspection. Nice exhaust system, looks outlaw and mean the way is is peeking out! How does it sound and perform?

Here's the picture I was trying to send. One of Kirks exhaust from Vintage Speedster. After installing it I thought the tips were to long so I took it to the local muffler shop and had them shorten the tips and resignators. I love the looks and sound.

Yep, the lights are for inspection.
Exhaust is maby a bit loud, specially after 100 km/h (60 mph), dont know rpm's couse tach is not working. Otherwise nice low tune. It has original heatexchangers(..is it correct word??) and they are a bit small for 2017 cc.

Janne go with the new EMPI 1-1/2" diam. heater boxes (stock are 1-3/8" diam.) and your engine will have less back pressure.

V/S speedsters exhaust- would it be ok for a 2110 engine? what does all the other piping on the other exhaust systems do. eliminate heqat?

I have been told by those much more knowledgeable than me that a 2110 needs at least a 1-1/2" diameter exhaust system, but 1-5/8" is optimum.

I have an A-1 1-5/8" system on my car. Better power/performance and oh yeah, she runs much cooler.

BAS 21152E with a custom (Powerflow) backbox for my 2270cc Type IV

Terry, Thats a pretty impressive looking exhaust system! Have you got any other pics?

Michael,
Here's another one.

I like the A-1 set ups like Terry's. That would be my choice in a new aftermarket system.

Mr Hambly has a pretty nice set up too!....I must say! That center exhaust looks really cool!

My long gone 84 IM's exhaust system. Note that the heater boxes are custom made 1 5/8" units, so I could get the full potential out of my 2110 and also get some heat.
Just after I took this picture I had a 3 litre Gene Berg sump installed and had the entire exhaust system (except the muffler) hot coated.

Michael, you got everyone to show some exhausts here!
Lambros, forget the other post, it all comes to getting a customized exhaust for these cars, no other way, off the shelve wont do.
