My apologies if this was shared already but wanted to relay the sad news that Dave Ellison (owner of Triad Exhaust) passed away on Sat. I know he will be missed in the 914 community and by those of us in the PNW region who knew him.
There may be a memorial service in early April…Ill update the post when something is finalized Andrew |

Breaks my heart. I picked up my Triad duel tip about three years ago love it. Now I’m going to run it until its rusty! Talked him and said Dave I’m old school mind if I write you a check you don’t have to ship until it clears. Dave’s response your talking to old school sure no problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) 2/9/23 sad day for us teeners RIP Dave.

QUOTE(SO.O.C914er @ Feb 9 2023, 11:41 PM)  I picked up my Triad duel tip about three years ago love it. Now I’m going to run it until its rusty! I refinished mine a few years back. Sandblasted the rust off and recoated it and ran it for a bunch more years until I eventually replaces it with one of Bens mufflers. The triad is a great unit made with quality steel. Clean it and get it ceramic coated and will probably last longer then the rest of your car. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I knew he had been sick for years and had really scaled back the business, but its still sad when a true craftsman passes. Zach |
