Tri-Mill Hotdog Exhaust for 1835?

[kevlarian]

Is the Tri-Mill Hotdog exhaust a "reasonable" match for a mild (W110, 8:1 CR, Dual Kadron, 1835) build? The pipe is 1.5", So I would think it is reasonable... Or would it incur too much back pressure and create heat in the heads?

Or should I just bite the bullet and get the Vintage Speed Sport exhaust.

I want Pea-Shooter like experience and look.

I ran it on a 1641 with Kads waay back. It ran ok. I guess it depends on what you're after. If you care more about looks over power, run it. If you want all your power or more, you'll want a header system. There are real headers that still retain stock exits.

Why not just run a AA Sidewinder, and attach fake pea shooters with a bracket or something?

The hot dogs are loud, so if you want a car for a long drive then that's not the exhaust for you. Get a 4-to-1 merged header, power over looks.

Hmmm...

Sidewinders put a drone inside the cab. I was trying to avoid that noise. I don't like the looks of a PHAT BOY or a Quiet Pack hanging out the back...

Mind you this is temporary.

I think I'll ultimately get a Vintage Speed exhaust.

Maybe I should just bite the bullet and get that now.

NO I am not trying to get every last HP out of my motor, but I also don't want to purchase something that will have NEGATIVE effects on my motor EITHER

If youre that bad with a wrench I think you have the wrong hobby. It normally takes about 15 minutes extra for me.
And no. It is not monstrous, it is just compact, and a very nice exhaust for the 80 to 130ish hp Window.

CSP exhaust is really excellent quality. - buy once, cry once.
It also looks very good on any bug.
It is very easy to disconnect both sides for valve adjustment.

Here's mine:

I dynoed the Tri-Mill hot dog on my wifes mild 1600 and also reviewed other test data and it performs well. I dont think I would use one for 2 liter or larger though unless I wasnt concerned about top end.

BUT it is loud...we used it for a year and she had to crank the radio to hear it so we switched to a single quiet pack ( 1 3/. Much better.

I like the hideaways when sound and good performance is a concern, but also there is a budget.

Ya! I think I've decided to run with this one from CB Performance...

Good choice! I'd suggest modifying it for an O2 sensor and tuning your engine afterward. Your probably going to be leaner than before.

I must be stupid again....so how does a side winder cause a drone inside the cab ? it's just a merged system that's aimed another way...I wonder why my car dosent have a drone in it it's collector aims a different way too...

purchased the Tri-Mil 2 Tip Euro. I really wanted to have a "stock looking" exhaust. It arrives this weekend. I hope to have my motor back this weekend, too. However, I need to get my transmission mounts replaced, and I also need to get my Tar Boards for the engine bay, paint the engine bay, and generally do some cleanup since the engine is out.

Also need to fix a leak in my rear hub. Trans fluid is dripping out of the drum.

Thanks!

[kevlarian]

Look what came in the mail this weekend! I can't wait to get it mounted and to hear that sweet tone!

Any update on how you like this exhaust.
