Anyone have any experience with this system?

I am having a 1916 built by Stan Pobjoy and want a quality exhaust to match. Everything else ive come across is of poor EMPI quality and 1'3/8 which is too small....

Edit: Sorry, previously reffered to this as a vintage vw system.

I have sent you a PM

Which exhaust is it your looking at do u have a pic of the one your wanting

Hey Craig,

Hit you back with a PM, not sure if its working though???

thats fora Type 3 is that the car you have

the extractor looks good dont know how loud it will be though

Dave,

Yeah mate, a '69 square. Only other over the top system is from ISP in the US for about but they want to sting $400 in shipping. How bout nooooooooooooo.

not sure on the placement of the muffler it will probally radiat heat transfere to the rubber air bellows on yr car

the headers look good but i would makea new exhaust pipe and duct the muffler some where else

Yep shipping from the US is expensive but u can shop around get it sent sea freight if you dont need it next week may take a few months but will be cheaper

Hey Ant,

Sorry mate no offence intended, I know ISP doesnt have a win from the shipping!!! When you guys going to get an Aussie rep!!!!!

As for dia, im finding that out today.......

The pipes look OK, but ill agree the muffler looks so-so.

I have this on my early square... after the burn in its sounds great. I'm running 1500 SP but still its got good note.

Tazz

Richard Holzl at Beetle racing fabricated a set of pipes for the superbug with a 2 litre T4 engine for us and it sounds good with a tuckaway muffler,a bugger of a job to do as we used modified heater boxes with the outlet coming forward but he did it well.

Hi Peter.
Stan just built the motor for my 73 square. I am looking at getting custom headers made up as I can not find any decent off the shelf items. Will let you know if I have any luck.
Cheers Jukka.

I recently enquired with socal autoparts about the tri mil over the top system and they quoted me USD$175 freight. With todays exchange that makes the whole system AUD$345 shipped.

System USDD$115
Freight USD$175

I know from my own business that freight can vary from country to country depending the carrier. ISP just needs a new freight carrier that has a favorable rate for Australia.

G'day Peter
Found custom headers too dear bought 2nd hand thunderbirds off forum. Muffler was burnt out so had some custom pipes done by Berklee in Coffs. Very happy with end result and motor pulls strong to 6000rpm were before it levelled out after 4000.

Try again to get photo

I have 2 of those less muffler might have some good heater boxes aswell. If you want the thunderbird system
$150 with good boxes.

Thats a good looking system Jukka.

Im guessing thats 1'1/2" or 1'5/8"?

I ended up going with the stainless OTT system from classic for a number of reasons.

1. Im busy and couldnt be asked organising a custom exhaust.
2. See point 1.
3. The only other option was EMPI / Bugpack rubbish.

Its only 1'3/8 but stan mentioned he drove a bus that he'd done an engine for which had a 1'3/8 exhaust and to his suprise it still went well, so here's hoping. Its only a base 1916 with twin 36IDF's so its not breathing fire.... (yet :smirk.

Ill post pics once its in the car and let everyone know how it sounds & go's.

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Adelaide that can do my a setup similar to the one i enquired about above? (the one Jukka Posted) I Generally use AAA Exhausts but not afraid to try someone else if the price is right and the work is recommended!
