Club 80-90 Forums

Hi all,
My good friend has developed a center stainless steel back box for my 2L air cooled van.
Instead of trying to fit to flanges, the guys have chopped flanges and fitted direct to outlet pipes.
It looks and sounds superb, and my performance is a lot better.
also the transmission between gears is much smoother.
These exhausts can be made to order, and fitted with twin tails, single tails etc.
If any of you guys are interested, contact me for details at tempozzzz@aol.com, I can mail pics. PICS NOW AVAILABLE IN MY GARAGE
The guys can also fit these exhausts on the Wirral. slight possibility can fit at your home.
Cheers

Looks good, but your description in your garage says

V4 twin carb Aircooled

You meant a flat 4 four?

I not a clue ??? to be honest. between work,kids and filling the van holes I not sure looking from back of van, 2cylinders either side and carb
on each side, linked. also engine is gold colour. I always guessed new engine ??

Sounds like you've got the correct engine then. If its been painted then its probaly a recon one

For one horrible moment, I though you'd had an old F0rd V4 engine fitted, which was one terrible engine

Now I like that exhaust mate.

Yeah, that's the exhaust that's doing that

Nice looking exhaust.......,how much are the twin exit ones? Can they be made to fit the DJ headers?

How does it make gear changing easier.? The reason i ask is.We get a lot of posts about gear changing problems.And i have never seen anyone recommending changing the backbox as a solution.

Sorry
gear shift is exactly the same, but the dwell or pickup is a lot better. ( technical help appreciated )

As soon as the clutch is released, the power is there now smoother transition maybe. ? cheers

The exhausts are made to order,mine is the proto type, been working on it over a year to get best/correct sound etc

these guys specialize on mark1 ford escorts and lotus.normally.

This is the first as stated.
the guys are making more and will be available soon.

I only posted here for a honest response, and if any members were interested.
They will be flogging these at a higher cost once established, prob through ebay and VW sales. VW Heritage are interested at moment.
cheers for any response, if you are interested, as said, you can drive your van to WIRRAL, they fit you one in couple of hours.
First few will get a good deal.
I keep you posted
They can have 2 twin pipes or basically any look you like.There are over 20 different stainless tails.

how much are the exhausts

Hi
The guys have informed me that the exhausts can be fitted with single ( as shown on pics in my garage) or double ends.
