Hi Guys,
I recently acquired a Bursch over Ebay and have an almost new Monza as well. The car is a 2.0 with OBX headers. There are three factors (that I know of) for my consideration: Looks: Monza wins Sound: Which one will sound cooler? Please post your opinions! Performance: Which will offer (slightly) better HP, if either at all? Opinions! Thanks! Mike in Munich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Monza for $500, is that how I read that? If so, they can be had new for less than $400 stateside.
Given the choice, I too would go Triad for performance and sound reasons, followed by Bursch. To me the Italian quad tips look at home on something like a Ferrari 308 but not a 914, and to me the sound is bland. However, no matter, you really won't notice much in the way of performance gains/losses either way. There will likely be those who say otherwise, but even if you gain a few ponies, you won't notice it in my opinion. But the sound coming from the exhaust can certainly add pleasure to the experience and can even lull you into a sense of increased performance. |

I got the Monza, as well as another, over the forum or 914Club or The Samba, both for $150. One is almost new. They sell for a lot more over here so stuff like that in the trunk helps cover the shipping cost. This is NOS, but still, listed at over $700... http://www.ebay.de/itm/DIE-LETZTE-VW-Porsc...d-/390781653516 Thanks for your feedback. I will update... |
