I am converting my 75 over to a 74 set-up for H.E. just acquired S.S. HE's, my originals are shot!, current set up by p.o. is monza which i kind of like- but want what would be best for performance etc. and i have to change to match up to the 74 trapezoid shape flange.- so- those of you that have had various set-ups, what is your favorite for sound/looks/performance? this is strictly street D.D. any advice you can give would be appreciated.
sooo- monza, bursch, original stock, other type IV vw? pjw. |

We just had one like that in our shop. WRT the Triad, We had one of those in our shop recently too. There isn't anything I liked about it. IMO they're fugly, loud, and mediocre design. YMMV |

QUOTE(william1764 @ Jul 29 2010, 04:24 PM) Hey - thats not nice chris (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Just kidding...i'm not sold on them myself either. A lot of west coast guys have them and say good things about them but I had never seen one until a few weeks ago. The car didn't have a rear valence so the Triad was pretty obvious even with the car on the ground. The first thing I noticed was the "unusual" shape. With the car on the lift I looked at the overall design and the collectors. Its generally considered bad for tuning to join the left side pipes and the right side pipes due to the exhaust pulse timing, but there it was - the Triad has a collector off each trapezoid flange. Then I listened to it as it was taken out for a test drive by Ed. Its certainly not quiet. Not as loud as the modified stock muffler with dual tips, but I wasn't impressed by the overall sound either. I didn't drive the car so I don't have any idea how it sounds from inside the car. Obviously I'm a little biased, and I also tend to be a bit fussy about details, but I tried to view it with an open mind based on all the positive feedback I've read here. Now you know my opinion, for what its worth. |
