 Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2009 8:53 pm Post subject: Quiet exhaust that doesn't hang low |
 |
|
| I'm looking for an exhaust that 1) Is quiet. 2) Doesn't hang low. 3) Flows well enough to go on a 2017. Getting two of the three is easy. Any suggestions for an exhaust that addresses all three? |

| Well, SandS used to make a single turbo that tucked up on the right side for a bus............unfortunately they only make the thing header any longer. I used a Thing header [same height as bottom of case, no lower] and used a Bugpack Turbo hideaway and modified it slightly [turned the flange and rewelded] and it works nicely. The Turbo muff is plenty big and will give great results............ I also used this setup on my 2054 powered thing and sacrificed no ground clearance. Kymco now makes that turbo hideaway for the Thing and maybe they make something for a bus....check it out. |

Anyone have a wav file or similar so I can hear it?
Looks like you have to take off the muffler to adjust the valves on the passenger side. Is that correct? |

with the stock A1 muffler it has a low rumble.
doesn't really sound like a bug motor anymore, more even. |

How low is your bus? Sidewinder is the best bet but I hear they still hang too low if your slammed. Anybody (whose really low) have pics of the clearance they have with a sw?

That is correct, but it really doesn't take very long to take the muffler off. It takes all of 5 minutes, if that.
And the exhaust does have the low rumble; but with a 2017, I'm guessing you'll probably have a set of webers or dells on the motor? You'll hear those over the exhaust at just about all RPM's, so it's not really going to be a big issue.

| A1 sidewinder........they are the best........if you have 600.00 bucks. They arent all that quiet. I assumed money was an issue. If it is, use an existing high clearance header [Thing or "Euro tuck"] and a hideaway turbo and have an exhaust guy do a little fabrication for you. less than half the cost [maybe 1/3] with the right balance between backpressure and noise. |

you beat me to it. Krushers set up has everything you want. It's got a nice sound too. Not loud. |

Will a sidewinder clear a stock apron?

Yep. Tiger at A1 would have a hard time selling them if they didn't.
