Exhaust recomendations for a rail.

Mowgli25

I'm running 1600 in a rail that currently has a pretty rusted up and cut up exhaust. What would you recomend for a exhaust set up? Ti-pi style with a stinger or what?

I had a TeePee exhaust on my rail and it was a PIA to work on because the exhaust was always in the way and disassembly of the exhaust sucked. I went with a 4 into 1 with the collector that is held on with four springs, way more user friendly.

Have any pictures of your set up? I'm just worried that a system like that won't clear the roll cage around the engine

Couldn't find a photo of my current four into one, this is the exhaust I mounted prior to the one I am running now

Im running a Trimill Teepee and love it. Sounds awsome. It is a little harder to work on the engine, but only when hot. I can still get to wherever easily. I actually believe its alot easier to adjust the carb, and aceess the front of the engine alot easier than a regular J-tube setup with U-Bend.

If your running a 1600cc engine I will assume that its just a fun buggy, and not a full out race car. So...

Do what you like the look of, or what you think sounds cool.

Honestly, I think dual exhausts look sweet and sound awesome...I don't mind if they take a couple ponies off. They get bonus points for sweet looks and an awesome sound in my book...not to mention they are mostly out of the way so it is easy to work on the engine.

If your a power hungry monster, then by all means, go for the 4 into 1 headers. They will gain you a couple ponies. Lets be honest, on a stock engine, the difference is really only noticeable to the driver of the vehicle lower in the rpm range.

Alright, it's time to shield my face from the all crap horsepower junkies will start throwing at me Rolling Eyes

I like my duals. Plus I run a single carb. So I need preheat, I think the four into one theory is probably blown using preheat tubes. I've seen a couple setups, but they weren't impressive enough to make me want to ditch what I have.

(I have a stock 1600)

What if you were running a 2110 with dual IDFs on the street. Would there be a major loss then? A 4 into 2 would look so much better for what I'm doing, but I don't want to waste a lot of gas and power. Frankly, a 4 into 4 would look even better Smile

Those are nice looking.

Im also in the same boat as the OP. Rusted exhaust and want to get rid of the stinger exhaust on there now.

How are these? Empi dual exhaust, w/o heater box. Only thing is they say redesigned to be compatible with dual carbs. I have single. Would they still work?

Or what about these? Another empi exhaust. I dont think they are the same, but could be. Laughing

I think the redesign just moves them outish a bit to give more clearance for the duals. They have a possible preheat so, I wouldn't see how they couldn't work with singles. I have an oldish version of that on mine with a 34-3.

hows the sound with those? Is it loud as heck, or can you still talk to the person next to ya?

Vanapplebomb · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 5:07 pm Post subject:

Those have a very nice sound, typical of dual glass packs. They are pretty calm at idle, but they will let you know you put your foot down Laughing

You can talk with them, but they definitely are not what most would call quiet. That being said, they are definitely tolerable. Much better than a stinger or the mega duals.

One thing with those that you will want to keep an eye on is the black. The paint that comes on them is only there to keep the metal from rusting in storage. Once they get hot enough, it slowly burns off. Once it does, or you don't like the look you can brush them down and repaint them with high temp paint for exhausts. I have not used it, but a couple people tell me that Grill Paint works really well.

Well the exhaust i have now, you cant even talk while going down the road until you are in 4th. Mine arent even as good as a stinger. The 4 pipes go up to a flange, and then a tip is welded to a flange and bolted on.

Ill take the grill paint into consideration. If i go with this style, which is what im leaning towards, then ill go ahead and do that as soon as they come in.

I get more noise from wind than anything interrupting conversations. I can definitely hear them, but not obnoxious by any means.

Buggy Disaster, where did you get your Teepee exhaust? I actualy like the looks of that one.

Mowgli25 · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 8:32 pm Post subject:

For a dual carb set up would a tee pee with a stinger be good? I noticed some said that some exhaust don't go well with dual carbs

My buddy runs one and when the pipes are cold they are not a problem. I don't like hows his looks tho. There are a couple with a few twist and turns that look realy nice, like the one buggy disaster is running. I have heard from a few people that the tee pee is a better performing exhaust than a tri-mill bobcat, I realy don't know.
here is a blurry pic of his rail,
