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) |

Thanks for the clarification Dave. The suggestion regarding stock is, indeed, quite the novel idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Sadly, this project is a combination of not quite worth it / not in the budget for a $2,000+ (optimal?) Tangerine solution, unless I could get one of their lovely systems for less... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Would like to be posting those photos this morning but uncharactaristically didn't get a reply from Sun Valley yesterday. M.i.M. How did you get an OBX header to fit on your engine? They're not even close to lining up with the exhaust ports. Also, if you have a header, the Bursch, Monza, or stock mufflers will not fit as they are designed to fit only with the factory heat exchangers. You need to do more research. I thought this was going to be the case...the answer to your question, I reckon, is that it is not a 2.0 case. It's a 1.8 bored to 2.0. The headers are not on the car yet. Ed in Sun Valley is expecting it to not be a problem at all. Naturally I hope he is right. I will update and inform. If a mod is necessary he will most likely solve the problem and I will post photos. M.i.M. I am curious other than the $$$ Tangerine, what is the optimum header muffler combination for the above engine, carb 2.0 from a 1.8. Let's assume the cams have been changed to optimize the carbs and the primary use would be autocross / track duty. |
