Exhaust Recommendation Wanted
As the titles states, I'm looking for a recommendation on a full exhaust system for my auto-x/road racing Super. This will be a dedicated racing car so I don't need to keep the heater boxes and it can be louder
My motor is going to be stock (besides the air filter, exhaust, and some jetting). I want something that is going to make a significant power increase while still maintaining some back pressure. I would like it to exit out of the stock exhaust cutouts in the rear apron, but it's not a must. I'm open to ideas so please speak your mind. Person experience, hear-say, or just ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance! |

Just bolt on a 1 3/8" street header and a quitepack muffler. Everyone sales them, and you can get it powder-coated for good looks and it will last much longer. You can lose your heaterboxes, and get j-tubes as well. The QP muffler wont be coming from the stock cutouts, but the performance gain is worth it, you will notice a difference. You could also opt for a turbo style muffler, or the hideaway (tucks up next to the valve cover).

Troy, do they have a website where I could get more information? It looks great but I'm assuming that comes with a large price tag. It might be a bit much when coming to my application.
What size piping is optimal for my application? |

Sorry, I don't have any first-hand experience. Didn't want your posts going unnoticed. I'm looking for functional solutions to my Type IV specifications and desires. Since I haven't yet found the ideal solution for me yet, I continue to read and research. And hope. |

Give Tiger call at (714)836-7201. Great guy! You're looking at about $299 for the standard Sidewinder header (ceramic coated) and $200-$300 for the muffler, depending on the model and finish. The fully stainless header is ~$100 more. I've got the 1 5/8" black ceramic coated with a fully polished stainless steel MagnaFlow. It's exhaust art... :agree: :agree:

Sidewinder with 17's
Hello,
Does anyone have a Sidewinder exhaust in a GL? I need to know if it clearance problems with large wheels. I have a 69 bug with a Hideaway setup and it barely clears my 215/45-17's in the rear. |

The beauty of the sidewinder is if you call Tiger and tell him what cha got he builds around your requirements.
Hey Dennis I thought Tiger had a TIV system too. |

Yup.
I had two concerns back then (14 months prior to getting my Type IV engine). One was my concern on how low it was. I have to enter/exit my driveway at a silly angle now with my Kamei spoiler. I'm not sure I could avoid scraping something if I had the spoiler and the exhaust. The other concern was purely a personal preference. I wanted the exhaust to exit a stock apron. (I actually had to get a Euro-apron as it turned out.) Back then, I figured I was 18-24 months away from a Type IV, so patience to see what else might develop or beome available on the market was easy. One of things that drew me to the engine I got was the exhaust was included. If something of the quality of an A-1 that also exits through the normal apron cut-outs becomes available, I will probably snatch it up. I think my exhaust might have another year or two left in it. We'll see. |

libila,
I'm with Wally on this one. I bought an A-1 for my Ghia, however my first choice was a BAS. The problem is that unless I was looking to pay a ridiculous amount in shipping, a BAS was just not going to happen, as there are no supplier that I could locate in the US or Canada. The BAS was about 2x the cost of the A-1 as well (ceramic coated, of course) Seeing as you are in Germany, the BAS may be the more affordable and/or attainable solution. Doug |
