Just finished upgrading the speedster to webers and a bitchin custome free flow exhaust. Now I have a very good stock exhaust and heater boxes together with set of empi carbs available. $50 plus shipping to a good home. No carb pictures, exhaust shots attached.

thanks all will work with Frank, if anything falls through will work down the order chronologically. as far as pictures, the webers were pretty straightforward, so no picts there, but the exhaust is pretty special. wanted to keep stock look but needed to get something more free flowing especially after putting the webers on. so got the exhaust from the cary Hines, and the muffler just wouldn't fit, just done incorrectly. went to a local shop here in northern Virginia and they not only recut the the muffler but re routed the 3 inch down pipe into dual 2 1/4 inch stainless steel exhaust pipe ]s plumbed into the stock outlets. makes an awesome sound i think because of he increased distance the exhaust travels and the added resonance and really exploits the benefits of the webers. Pictures below.
Pete - that looks like an A-1 Performance Sidewinder (with MagnaFlow muffler). Very cool!
It does look like a Sidewinder Jim, your right. It's just got a dual outlets.
Peter, my zip is 01950.
Thanks,
Frank
Looks great. I love my A1.

Is that left pipe crooked?
The shop is IMA motorsports in chantilly. Great guys down there, love working with them. The dual outlets were all custom work done by Chris at IMA. frank will work on packing and getting a final number to you.

Great. There are slim choice's for our cars in VA. I'll have to check them out. Great work on your exhaust.
they really do great work, feel free to use my name as a reference, Its Pete taddeo

Might just be the perspective from that camera angle.
Looks good. CSP makes a similar setup...they are a little pricey but nice.
i am interested in your old parts. I sent you a email.
thanks
is it still for sale? bill

I will, thanks. Hey, just noticed, with that set-up, how do you check your valves?
Scott, I think he unbolts at the 3-bolt flange and is good to go.
When ordering a sidewinder exhaust system it's a good idea to pay a bit more and get the quick release coupler for the muffler.
With my old system I could adjust the valves without having to take the muffler off, but with my new sidewinder system I think I'll have to take the muffler off to adjust the valves.

That's the plan, unbolt the flange, and the hanger at the leading edge of the muffler and should swing out of the way pretty easily. There is also a hanger midway between the exhaust pipes for complete removal, but don't think will need to mess with that. Will do valves end of the summer and we'll see.
For everyone else Frank got the spares so no longer available.
have you sold it yet? if not I'll take it.
Sold quite a while ago. Sorry
My A1 has enough room to do the valves with out taking anything off.
There are different orientations of the muffler depending where the exhaust exits.
My muffler is on the passenger side of the car right next to and in the same plane as the valve cover. I have to remove the muffler to get in there to do an adjustment.
