Since Ben is no longer making stainless exhaust, we decided to step in and make some of our own.


Now working on stock 2.0, 1.7/1.8 units.
Should have the 1st batch ready in about 10 days.

Also working on a "quiet" version and a sport as well.

Should have pricing worked out in a few days, Should be close to what they had been selling for.


More soon!

I love 914 Rubber . . . but for me, if Ben makes an exhaust, that's my full stop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Wow ! This is great news….I’m getting to a point I’m gonna need to replace. Been running Bursch extractors for a long time. I’d rather have a simpler set up.

I think they’re being made by the guy who stole all of Ben’s designs and went off on his own. I’m just guessing but having sold a couple dozen of them, they do look familiar…

Actually not too hard to make. Simple design to emulate. Your options are stamped or rolled. For the money rolled offers the best value.

Nothing really new here but planning to add some bells and whistles as we progress.

I just want to use our purchase power to do these in large enough quantities to keep costs reasonable.

It’s a significant investment in materials and effort.

Very nice. I have a Dansk, it's in good shape, but this would make a super replacement.

Mark, one suggestion: offer an optional O2 sensor port in a workable location.

OCD got the best of me..... had some time this afternoon and the wife was out of town. So I went into the shop, and fired up the polishing lathe.

What are you going to do for exhaust hangers?

Passivation aka pickling is huge for corrosion resistance on stainless, especially around the welds.

I use a home made method of a lawn mover battery for current, a phosphoric acid based rust converter, and a polyester pad slipped over a strip of stainless.

This method quickly removes discoloration and oxidation from the weld area.

Why is Ben no longer making them? He does absolutely beautiful work. Before we had our 75 76 Stainless muffler assembly made, we asked Ben if he could make it, but gave us the go ahead, having too much to do already. Ben maybe you could tell us why you discontinued the mufflers?

Yes, we have done passivation on many stainless railings in Hawaii, so no big deal.
For those that don't know, when you heat stainless by welding you release free iron. It's simply removing it using acid.
