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 |

YMMV how do yours compare in the spectrum of all of these others?- i know yours seem to test out great on hp etc. how do they compare sound-wise? - on a scale of 1-10 10 being loudest, stock being a 4, where does yours, triad etc sit? pw |

There are significant differences in tone as well as loudness, and the loudness varies depending on throttle position and rpm. Whether you're inside the car or watching it go by makes a big difference, and if you have carbs vs stock FI also affects what you hear - from inside the car especially. I think my street mufflers are only slightly louder than stock, but hardly anyone has a stock muffler anymore for comparison. Everything else is louder, with the dual tip modified stock unit being only a little quieter than my Stage 1 race muffler. The only muffler I've heard that I thought was quiet is a Bursch on '75 HE's. Probably the best way to judge loudness is to try carrying on a conversation with a passenger. With my exhausts its pretty easy to converse in a normal tone of voice while driving. |
