Exhaust Setup For Baja.
It's a long story and I don't want to bore you - either war the solution is a new exhaust system.
What suggestions can you all give me on setting up a new exhaust system. I know some here don't like VW's loud but I do. Legally loud of
course. Like a Harley at full song.
So suggestions on loud, deep and preferably bringing out a lumpy type of beat at idle.
I know 'lumpy' is a cam thing but some pipes and bends types must bring out deeper, more lumpier sounds?
I have access to a Mig, can hire a bender and buy the material I need just up the street. Wes has a good suggestion earlier of raiding muffler shop
bins. What can you add.

"Like a Harley at full song."
'Round here we hear a lot of Harleys at "Full Song," but they're not legal (for some reason a lot of bikie gangs like Kal.)
You need to match your primaries to your heads - if you have stock-like heads, they should be 1&3/8', if 044s it should be 1&1/2".
Have the collector merge into twice this diameter and keep it for at least 6" then feed it into a free-flowing muffler. The "turbo"
type are a great street option and will usually keep the law happy, but in the old days we'd use a 6" hotdog: cheap as chips, but not legal
these days.

I have twin cannon hotdogs hanging out the back at the moment. I actually like the current set up, its throaty and burbles nicely on deceleration but
sounds dead at idle. Each hotdog is rusted out within and the piping is sounding straight through.
I think I have 040 heads. It's apparently a tp1600 with 1500dizzy mixed by a 34 pict 4 solex carb. I'll either change it to a 009 or a 30
pict in the future.
If I can get the camera to comply tomorrow I'll post a pic of the current exhaust setup. Typical of most Bajas.

You'll find an extractor system will putperform your cannon system by a long shot (unless you're running 300+ degrees of cam timing!)
