Vintage Speed Exhaust
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has had a good look at the Vintage Speed Exhaust?
http://vintagespeed.hotwear.com.tw/
The design doesn't follow the traditional VW performance design of 4 pipes going into the 1 collector.
The Vintage Speed exhaust's design has each pipe going into straight into the muffler. No collector. Totally different to the established rule that
VW performance engines need the 4 pipes going into the 1 collector.
I think it is similar in design to the exhaust system on old 911's.
Any thoughts?
Has anyone used the exhaust system?
Can it make real power?
I will try to upload some pictures.
Thanks

On paper & in pictures the exhaust looks great.
Stainless steel.
Makes power... well the website claims it does!
Fits under the rear apron & exits the the factory exhaust cutouts.
It costs $550 USD - that's around $750 AUD.
Is it too good to be true?!
Well it work?
My engine is a 1916 (Base Stan)
Twin Kadrons.
Pertonix Igniitor 2 ignition system - distributor, coil, 8 mm leads.
Empi tuck up header.
Heads - 40mm/35mm
Stan's cam.
Thanks.

The flow is what I am concerned about.

Certainly an improvement over stock system, but surely not a good power system....based on numerous dyno tests, 4 in 1 with the collector min. 90.o mm
long vith pipes layed out in firing order is the go..

it was a custom header set from vforce. it was built to suit the car, its made a huge difference from the previous version.
