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

RIP Dave.

I recall him attending Woodward dream cruises, years ago, family in Michigan at the time. Great guy, ground up Business man.

Wow!! He worked almost up to the end. I only talked to him on the phone. Super nice guy and very helpful. Loved my Triad on my six, but my current M&K seemed more responsive and the drone is much more tolerable.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I purchased one of the very last setup's he built. He was always very helpful and generally a really nice person. RIP Dave.

I met him at his shop when I picked up the exhaust he built for me. Cool shop and some very impressive jigs he had made. Great guy. He will be missed.

RIP Dave

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.

When I went to pick up my muffler he built for me I realized when I got to his place I had forgot my checkbook and wallet. I told Dave I would have to come back another day to pick up my muffler. He looked at me and said " You don't want to drive all the way back out here. Take your muffler and send me a check whenever. No big deal."

He spent the next couple hours showing me his shop. We had a couple beers and talked cars. He was a good guy.

Godspeed Dave.

I must have bought one of his last Triad mufflers. He told me that I was going to love it, and I do! So sad to hear that he's no longer with us.

I had the muffler shipped to a cross-border P.O. Box, then brought it back to Canada by car. The border agent didn't believe that a Porsche muffler could possibly cost that little, so I was held up by an hour or so trying to 'prove' that my email receipt was the real price!

I didn't try to explain that a 914 isn't a 'real' Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

R.I.P. Dave. He made one hell of an exhaust for our 914's. I feel lucky to have one.
