The Triad I have is just too loud for me. It has a cool look with an original style, but I'm not enjoying the car when I go for anything but a short ride. None of my neighbors have complained. I've asked them about it just to be sure. Living in a condo community where I already bend the rules a bit is a balance.

So I've got the car going into a specialty shop near my house. The guy that runs it has decades of muffler work and tells me about all the 911 stuff he's engineered. He likes my Triad headers although he's planning on doing some adjustments to them. They don't hang at the exact height and he's going to even them out. It will be a fix that you can't see from the top of the car, but it will look correct when I'm working under it.

The plan is to make a tube that joins the to headers and enters a 30" muffler on the passenger side. The muffler will be tucked up high in the body and a single pipe will exit on the drivers side hanging just below the valance. The idea is nothing will be hanging out and the pipe will barely be seen. The muffler won't be Weldon in place so it may be removed easily.

If your looking for a loud set of pipes, they'll be up for sale when it's all done.

More to report next week when it goes into the shop

The guy at stan's should be familiar with the triad. They prob pre-bent the piping on your muffler.

Yes except with a bigger muffler and a "ball & socket" joint at both ends of the muffler so it and the tail pipe can be taken apart easily. That will make it so I can change out the two of them

Are the Triads foe the -6 louder than The ones on a -4 ? I've riden in several -4s with Triads and didn't consider them on the loud side. Even the dual outlet version seemed tame.

Is the Banana muffler the quietest ?

Sorry...I'm not trying to play air hair quarterback but...

Removable sections are nice, but why the ball and socket joint? IMHO a v-band flange looks a lot better and seals better. Cost should be only a little more and it'll seal even after removing a few times.

I ran a Triad on my -4 2.0 and really like the mellow but throatier exhaust note. No drones or bad resonances. Was thinking about ditching the sport muffler that's on my -6 now in favor of a Triad. Curious if anyone can answer Jim's question. Maybe my -4 experience isn't representative of the -6, but it has to be better than a sport muffler.

Billy I may be interested in your Triad when you're ready to get rid of it. I'm just east of you in Maple Valley.

Mark the triad was my fav at anything but cruising speed ...25mph to 50 in 4th or 5th was horrible to the point the wife said no more and i couldnt disagree, went back to stock bursch,but when your full throttle going through the gears there is no better sound out of a flat 6 then a Triad..when Dave did mine i came up with the idea of dumping right side strait down so i didnt have to cut the valance , two strait back or one might have different results

is it about ready to go again...i may do some next season

Yep, I can attest to the droning sound ... it finally got to me after a few long trips.

I replaced the Triad dual (on my 2056) with an OEM banana. It's quieter and closer to the existing jetting I was running (although I still need to fine tune the jetting a bit).

I am running a gutted 911 muffler with dual 2.5" outlets.

- For the street the right side is plugged ... nice.
- Remove the plug for the track ... earplugs are advised.
