Which exhaust?

[mister]

This is mine

Not really seen any other buses with one, I guess its off a bug?

It was on my bus when it was imported from the states. It seems to do its job fine as the bus goes well, but its starting to look a little tired.

I have a stock 1600TP, what would you guys recommend as a replacement?....I have no idea!

Don't mind spending a bit more for something better if you know what I mean.

Cheers, Andrew

Bit pricey but I've only heard good things about them. Still pondering it myself against just going back to a stainless stock system..

Hi

Our bus is from Sacramento and has a twin exhaust like yours.

Cheers

@Reborn bay Man
hey yea snap! nice looking bus

@Merlydog
Those are really nice

Has anybody got any experience of fitting the vintagespeed exhausts, are they worth the money?

Which one would be best for a 1600tp?

Any other suggestions?

Thank you, Andrew

I've got one fitted to my stock (except for Dell 36's) engine. I have this one http://www.vintagespeed.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=garden_flypage.tpl&product_id=128&category_id=27&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=119&vmcchk=1&Itemid=119" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but asked them to re-position the tailpipe to clear my overriders.

I get great clearance as mine is a bit low, and love the sound which is a bit deeper than stock but not obtrusively loud

Well worth the money for me.

I love my VS exhaust. At the moment I'm running a stock 1584 save for a pair of 34ICT's and a Pertronix set up.
Worth ever penny IMHO.

Hi
Laurie Pettitt reccomends Vintage Speed exhuasts so that's good enough for me! I've just got one - It's sitting in a box while I await the genuine heat exchangers I've just bought on ebay. I'm sure it will be really good - I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Cheers

Simon

Best to fit a standard exhaust for your van

 

[mister]

Thank you for your responses people. it seems the vintagespeed has a great following!

@mr scoops love you crusty back bumper!

can anyone tell from my original photo what my current set up is?

Had a vintage speed on my split for 2 years now (1776 with 34ict's)...absolutely excellent exhaust...good sound but quiet and fantastic build quality

Looks like a beetle one to me. A few on here run beetle exhaust with two bay tailpipes attached to keep the fumes away from the rear hatch

Thanks Dude!
My wife hates it!
It'll soon be wearing some tatty deluxe trim when I profile the over-riders to sit on top.

Thanks for comments Andrew.

On our exhaust the right hand side exhaust tip is longer than the left, explain that.. :lol:

Getting my new engine in a few weeks, and Im having a vintage speed on it. Cant wait. The build quality on these is absolutely outstanding. Ive never seen another aftermarket exhaust that comes close.

Andrew,
That's a standard beetle exhaust you have there, just the same as I fitted to my bus a while back!

I seem to recall hearing that performance wise they are actually quite efficient, backed up by Okrasa (I think) using standard exhausts on some quite hot modified engines......

Cheers Pete, this was what I suspected but wasn't sure, it does go pretty good too!
