Type IV owners

Show me your exhaust. I know that there are type four owners out there, but when I did a search on exhaust, I can't remember who has a tpye four engine. I am finishing up on my, but I need to see some other ideas.

I don't have a clear photo of 'the good part' of mine, but if you go the Tangerine Racing. com you are likely to see Chris' magic mandel work.

Also check with Jake. He has an equally good new approach for far less $$ as I recall from a previous thread on this subject

BAS T4 with stanless magna flows. You can here how it sounds.

BAS header, Dynomax muffler, Magnaflow resonator. A little louder under acceleration than I would like. Heat shield between header and rear valance dramatically lowered temperature of fiberglass. Also shows heat shield between header and engine. Also shows a lot of old oil leaks . . oops. Header Chit by Olympic coatings will remove that baked on oil residue, if you like to polish stuff - I don't.

Kevin, the pipes all meet at the collector on the driver's side, there's a Bug stinger on backward as a reducer, then the 2.5" pipe goes forward to the back of the passenger's seat before turning 180. The only flange is right before the muffler.
BT - your coppers and gauge should be there Wednesday.

BAS 21152E header with custom silencer and tailpipe made up a local shop. Only affordable option at the time - now Jake has several.

Chris Foley from Tangerine Racing is here right now building a custom header for our 550 thats being built for the new TV show "Blow it Up"...

He and I have several new offerings in the works as production items, and of course he always has full custom arrangements that will do exactly what you want, look the way you want, sound the way you want and the quality is just plain insane!

yeah Jake, but I don't have a first born yet to pay for it.

I imagine in a Spyder configuration there is a lot more room for Chris' magic as the bendy parts begin to head out the back!

OK, after tons of R&D, statistical modeling, breech analyst, and a weld burn to my nether regions. I have finally completed my exhaust. Now the bumper will fit and there is still plenty of room to add heat shielding and adjust the valves. Now I just have to wait until I return from Sandy Eggo this weekend to fire it up and see just how loud it'll be. I am still looking for an exhaust tip though. I could not find the "right" one yet.

oh, and cory.... the ups man showed up after taking this picture. Got the goods, thanks again!

Odwagerty - that set-up looks pretty good! Hope it delivers the exhaust note you're trying to get!

Kevin, I'll trade you my cobble-job for your pipes ANY day!
Nice job!
Glad you got the package, too.

Great looking system. Corvairs had a similar system with the addition of a crossover pipe - under the tranny. It supposedly evened out the exhaust pulses and made a more mellow tone - less Harley like. Just trivia, in case your sound is disappointing in any way.

I couldn't get underneath far enough to get any more shots of the exhaust, but Butch is in the shop getting tuned for his Trek to Paso, so maybe I can get another view of the plumbing. Chris Foley really does do a nice job. I'm now running dual exhaust as you can see in the second photo I posted today. It seems a little loud, but then it sort of goes along with the burping, belching and general rudeness i was seeking on this build.

It will be loud but brings the kid out in all of us !

Paul... you got PM
