Header pics

[mendo]

Here are a couple of pictures of the Header that I have been running for the last 3 months.

My biggest struggle has been figuring out how to get it quiet.

I started using one of the Magnaflow muffs from one of my other exhausts....It was only loud when you stepped on the gas

Then I made one from scratch, Better but still did not pass the Wife test.

Now I am running a single quiet pack. all you Bug Guys will know what it is.

The performance is great! the car keeps pulling harder all the way to the redline.

Nice job! Long tube headers are sweet, you made these?

YUP, used a V-Band connector after the collector so I can quickly change the muffler/straight pipe choice.

...very nice...they do have ear plugs for the wife's test, you know?

jetfuel....WHAT HE SAID?..CHANGING AND GOING STRAIGHT?

could you try a supertrapp? tune-able exhaust with those nice headers would be a cool match.

When I said loud, I mean REALLY LOUD!!

I will get a drive by video next week when I get back from business meetings.

Did you give the factory muffler a try, I know it is restrictive but I bet the wife would approve.

What about wrapping it?

Or moving the collector closer to the exhaust ports then using a small bullet muffler as a resonator between the header and muffler.

I don't know if you have enough room left for this one. I used this mufflers before, they sound great, are cheap, and are much quieter than the typical straight trough design.
The one on the link has a 2" inlet and a 2 1/4" outlet. I like it mostly because it has slightly smaller dimensions than others with 2" in/out or 1 7/8 in/out.
