i prefer stock look... so i got flared pea shooters... u can get a tuck away and weld stock pea shooters on =D im considering a tuckaway zoom tube with welded pea shooters馃檪

had big muffler and extractors but found I was canning it all the time
so went with a stock with straight tips, not pea shooters,bit deeper soundingwith a stock look.
also bought a Zoom tube for the bug but might keep that for the splitty

Depends on the car , style etc and your own taste. For me it works like this but thats only me


Big muffler+ big motor = yes i look fat and yes i can move rather quickly if desired = very , very , very cool

Big muffler+ average / small motor= yes i look fat but it's all a con , all mouth and no action but i'll rev the balls out of it anyway = very uncool (nearly became a victim but saw the light)

Average motor + pee shooters = yes i sound like a bug and yes i have original styling + yes suprisingly quick for a stocker = very cool


Big motor+ pee shooters = fu**ing stupid !


Maybe a hideaway? Maybe i shut up and let you choose yourself. A muffler can be a very personal thing so do what YOU want to do.

I've got stock exhaust and staight chrome tail pipes!
It whistles along,adds to the character,I guess!
I like the quiet core mufflers,if I had to renew the stock one.
brum,brum!

kombi_kid 路

go stock and take out the baffling in the peashooters :P
cheers

my baja has twin cannons and no mufflers to speak of, after driving it for a while i would go for a much quieter exhaust if i was given the choice now, its not cool warming up my car at 2.30am at my girlfreinds place while the rest of the neighbour hood (including her family) are trying to sleep.......i would go for the hideaway quiet exhaust.....im not a huge fan of the pea shooter look unless its on a complete stocker......i think that even on a slightly custom ride that a decent exhaust can set it off

It is also a bout 4m long to get the torque down low were i like it.:thumb

Sam its all about the style your going for if your going rat rod how about some
sharkfin style harley exhaust tips on pea shooters or four pea shooters ive drawn that up as a wacky racers red baron concept, or if your going new or retro drag, cal look taxi,retro resto custom ,hawaii,newcastle,west side,eastside,lowrider, euro,etc etc
?

toybug 路

Good set of Extractors
2 1/2 inch pipes up under the gaurd with a quiet thumper
will make even the mildest of engines perform better and sound great :thumb

VWFOOL 路

when i first got my oval i bought this custom system that ran down the drivers side with a turbo muffler, did a U turn at the end of the gearbox and came back down the passenger side with a hot dog style muffler and exited the left exhaust hole with a dummy tip welded onto the right side. heavy stuff, alot of piping but it looked ok.

sadly a "backyard" mechanic cut it up one night wen working on my car and never gave it back to me. asshole.

another shot from the front of the car, some ppl may remember this from my old website.

Who was it?

That way we can all keep clear of this dud(e)

VWFOOL 路

the guy works in newcastle for one of the vw mechanics. cant say much else coz this city can be quite a small place wen it wants to be.
i was a little naive and lacking much cash at the time and took him up on his offer to work on my car at home for cheap.
sadly the work done was pathetic, he damaged my Oval and some of my stuff and still tried to get 3 times the amount out of me that we agreed upon. i later found out he isnt even a trained mechanic.

i learnt a big lesson.

Ouch

sorry to here that Sam

I guess that workshop don't get much work from the Newcastle club then hey
:cussing

VWFOOL 路

its not the workshops fault, just one bad egg.
anyway im more careful now with my car and who to trust

Dannyboy 路

I have to go back on everything i've said.I will be have to slide in the small engine + big muffler mob for a while!

My car is a rolling project and the last things done will be the new engine , box and brakes! Off the road for a month! As the car will be kind of based around early cal racers in a fashion the car will look kind of daft with pea shooters hanging out the back! This would be for at least 6 months

I am now looking for a cheap set of extractors for my1300 and a quiet pack i can gut so at least it sounds something like it's going to look like for a while.

BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT !!!!

If You like the Peas shooter look... use BIG pea shooter pipes or flared...

or if You like the Extractor look - go for any of them..
most of them are costly though...

A lot of work in some of them...!!!

The twin extractors that come out of the two recesses are COOL !!!
