VintageSpeed Exhausts Bolt Straight on
Governor - May 16th, 2011 at 09:08 AM

One of the first Vintagespeed exhaust's that we know of in the country was fitted to a 2007cc in a split kombi over 2 years ago, this produced over 97 BHP at the wheels and was still making power at 175 KMH on the Dyno (at Leons Motors)

The Last 5 Motors B4 has built all use Vintage Speed Systems because they have proved that they bolt straight on, no modifying any bodywork or manipulation to the system to make them fit.


Merged Super Flow good for up to 2.3 Litres
The quality of the fit & finish is second to none

I bought mine direct from the factory in Tiawan for about $ 450 delivered.

is this just sharing info with the people or is it supposed to be an ad without sponsorship?
seems more the latter but either way looks good.

I have the 1.9 SF muffler on mine, sounds great although I havent had the chance to drive it far yet. The fit was PERFECT!! Very pleased with the quality and vintagespeed were happy to make the header to accomodate a filterpump style setup with only a minor delay.

Would definatly deal with vintagespeed again.

Wow, that merged Super Flow is an interesting design. What are they like in terms of access to the nuts? I just installed a sidewinder exhaust on my Superbug and couldn't get a socket or ring spanner on anywhere due to the diameter of the pipes, had to use open-enders.

or smaller nuts, 11mm spanner, M8 x 1.25 threaded nuts available. I have plenty in stock if you want them....good for inlet manifolds too.


Very nice exhausts and B4's work is awesome as ever :tu:

vw54 - May 17th, 2011 at 08:40 PM

The merged superflow can be adjusted width wise by using the Vintagespeed spacers between where the pipes attach to the actual muffler

What can you tell us about the merged super flow exhaust on the black bug?

Have you done any dyno testing?

How does it compare to a typical merged exhaust - performance wise?

Governor - May 17th, 2011 at 11:26 PM

As mentioned the quality is amazing, it bolted straight one, no mods to bodywork ect.

I believe he had a Berg 1 7/8 merged exhaust on it and prefers this one.

No Dyno testing but the owner says he can tell the differance and believe me B4 knows.
Thats why he will recommend these exhausts over everything else

If you google Vintagespeed, go onto their site and they have loads of videos of their exhausts on the dyno and compare them to others as well

I believe Lukey made exhausts similar to these for 4cyl Porsche and VW some 25yrs ago??

I do like the look! :cool:

Would like to know what the internal baffle system looks like!

Gracey - May 18th, 2011 at 07:40 PM

Thanks Black64, I've been looking at the merged super flow exhaust for a while and trying to find some real life experience and testing on it.
However there doesn't seem to be much on the net.

http://www.store.vintagespeed.com.tw/  Unfortunately there's no dyno testing on this exhaust.

That was about 45 plus years ago

they made for the 1200 engine

I have several origionals they work great

These are staino and you wont have to replace them

Paulc1964au - May 18th, 2011 at 08:09 PM

Are these equivalent in performance to sidewinder exhausts

Newt - May 19th, 2011 at 11:52 PM

Scuise my ignorance. Is that an oil cooler hanging under the black bug?

Cheers

Newt

No its an O'Berg oil filter
