Extractor Exhaust (I Think). Has anyone used em?
May have to replace my muffler and I was wondering if anyone had used this setup and their feelings about it.

I like the looks but am curious about the performance.

Re: Extractor Exhaust (I Think). Has anyone used em?
you have a 77, do you have early Heat exchangers? cuz, thats what that setup is for. I don't like the small cherry bomb muffer as it will be Loud!!
I have a SS setup that's similar and seems ok but with a real muffer.

Re: Extractor Exhaust (I Think). Has anyone used em?
I have a '77 with a '72-'74 exhaust setup. I kind of like the loud, throaty sound of some after market exhaust setups. I'm more interested in if it performs well.

Re: Extractor Exhaust (I Think). Has anyone used em?
performs well? It's slightly better than the stock muffer HP wise I'd say. Maybe 1-2 hp, now on the loudness scale that one is probably loud enough to be a pain inside the bus.

Re: Extractor Exhaust (I Think). Has anyone used em?
I tried to fit one of those onto my '81 (same heater-box flanges as the '74). I could not get the flanges to seal to my heater boxes: they weren't spaced correctly, and they weren't co-planar. I took the POS back and sprung for the stock Vanagon setup (my van had a '74 muffler on it when I bought it).
You may get luckier than I did, but I don't think those things are worth the headache.

I have one too.. but my muffler is different. Bugpack I think. But I never heard it yet. I'll take a pick after I sober a little.

Re: Extractor Exhaust (I Think). Has anyone used em?
I ran one of those on my Vanagon. It's not easy but it can work if it wasn't dented or banged up too badly. on a 72-74 bay it will definitely work.
The main piece that connects to the heater boxes is the same as everyone sells, and they generally last long enough. That other bit is the cheap one that will get you anywhere from 2-4 years if you're lucky.
That one looks like an old school cherry bomb type muffler, so if you want loud - you found it.
I like the extractors but with a regular muffler, so it's more deep/throaty and not just fart rattling loud for the sake of loud.

Get a '72/'74 Ernst or Leistritz stock muffler. Breathes well at 5,800 rpm. Really, the extractor trash is designed to rust away in no time if your have the gall to actually get the damn thing to fit.Sluggo wrote:I have a '77 with a '72-'74 exhaust setup.
$219.00 at Bus Depot will last you several more years than crap that does not deserve our business.

Mine seems to be coated with truckbed liner. The original had to be cut off with a sawzall.

No exhaust alone makes more than a few percent horsepower difference...at best. Maybe you could go 0-60 in 17.7 seconds instead of 18.0 seconds. Save your money unless you're looking for sound. Same thing with aftermarket "performance" air intakes.

This one : http://www.tangerineracing.com/type4exhaustheaders.htm is the best right now. IIRC 5hp/10ftlbs of torque increase and sounds badass.

That's the one I have on mine. Could have been placebo effect when I put it on but it seemed like it made a difference. It's definitely got a unique sound for a bus. This summer when I passed two dumptrucks full of sand without load covers and sand blasting everyone, doing eighty while pulling my scooter on I-5 I'm sure they wondered what the hell I had in there.
