I have a 2 inch system on mine with a hotdog muffler; it goes better than with the original exhaust and sounds much better. I originally did it because as much as they might attract attention, being white I found (and still do) that it looks like a work van so I wanted to make it a bit different until I can think of a great color to suit.

1985 with 282,000 km and it drives like new. I just had a roadworthy done because for the year I have had it it was still in the old man's name. It didn't need anything done to pass. If future laws allow, I am planning to be driving it for another 25 years at least. It certainly sounds better and has extra power with the 2 inch exhaust.

I would have expected a 1 3/4" to 1 13/16" system to maintain better velocity & therefore scavenging. Exception to this would be a forced induction setup or engine capacity greater than 2 Litres.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..

Yep, that's the reason I did it, sound. I didn't expect to get any extra power, although I did.

I use a great exhaust place here in Melbourne because they are so cheap. I paid $150 in memory serves me correct. It was expensive really because I had replaced my complete exhaust on my 1968 Toyota Crown wagon (which is a long car) for $160.

So what kw gain did you get from the muffler? I'm wondering if it will be worthwhile upgrading mine.

Where might that be Karu? - I'd like to know someone who does good work for a good price. :)

The next bit of tinkering with my 'Boy may well involve the exhaust system. :wink:

Braydon I wish I had put it on the dyno before the exhuast, but it certainly was much quicker than my old blue one that had 8000 km's on the engine and recently when I pulled up next to a later model (same shape) at a set of lights after he asked if I wanted to sell mine and that he had 4 the lights turned green and I left him for dead. Anyway, it sounds better. I will try and get a photo of it. I wish I had known recently when I got a roadworthy and it was on the hoist.
