Exhausts

[fatirossi]

I'm looking at exhausts to fit to the new trike, but I am quite tight on length. Do any of you folks have either of the systems as shown in the links below? If so, could you give me a measurement from the RH rear exhaust flange face to the end of the exhaust.

Exhaust, chrome mega phones, W/o heating, Thunderbird -- AC2514207 -- Volkswagen part from VW Heritage

Exhaust, chr.mega cannon, EMPI no heat -- AC2513709 -- Volkswagen part from VW Heritage

Cheers

I've had several sets of both types. The 4 individual pipes work great except the muffler inserts burn out very quickly and the exhaust is a bit loud for my taste. The 2-into-1 type mufflers work great as well and the muffler inserts (baffles) last indefinitely (although it doesn't qualify as a quiet exhaust by any means).

From the rear exhaust flange the 2-into-1 pipes extend 12 inches (325mm). The 4-pipe system is a bit shorter (about 6 inches shorter I guess since I don't have one in my garage at the moment).

I hope this helps.

Thanks ThumbUp,
I've plumbed for the cannons, as i've had several poor reports on the Thunderbird megaphone system.
