Exhaust Question

[daSCHISSnit]

Will a late model fuel injected exhaust fit on a normally aspirated motor?

A chrome one will bolt up nicely, but the painted ones don't line up correctly.
You will have to shove a potato in the exhaust tip so it can build up horsepower. When you hear the potato shoot out like a cannonball that means the exhaust is correctly fitted to the engine.

Assuming you are talking about a beetle, the simple answer is "it depends." Smog laws may not allow it where you live. carbureted exhaust systems are designed to bolt up to manifold heat risers, which a fuel injected car does not have, so a later exhaust may not work on an earlier car.

Thank you mbugz60, for that shining example of why it is important for kids to breath clean air when they are young.

[mbugz60]

Where in the hell do you find clean air?

[mbugz60]

If you are an aircooled mechanic you should have answered the question, or maybe exhaust systems aren't your specialty.

should I use the small red "boiling" potatoes, or will the large "Baking" style work better ?

[mbugz60]

For the best results use the big baking potato.

mbugz, if you will reference the "superbeetle" forum, you will find that I did answer his question.

[mbugz60]

I stand corrected. You did answer his question. I seldom go to the sb forum.
You never did say where you can find clean air. Down here in Louisiana you can see the cancer floating in the air.

I think you can still find clean out in the wilderness of Alaska, or maybe when you are 100 miles out to sea???
