Riley McDowall <mcm@intergate.bc.ca>: Re: headers (yet again)

[mark.peele@juno.com (Mark A. Peele)]

I don't believe I've ever seen TT claim that their 16V systems yield big
HP gains - but I don't have my TT catalog w/me. I've always heard that
the 16V exhaust was fairly well done by the factory. This was not the
case with the 8Vs - especially the 82 and on Scirocco 8Vs . . .  

Could be just that the TT system is much cheaper than the factory system
. . .

However, TT refuses to guarantee ANY power gains over the stock 16v
downpipe.

If only it were that easy...

You've seen the latest "Project" 16v article?  On the dyno, the full TT
stainless system from header to tailpipe, plus the Nology ignition parts
gave a whopping 3hp.  There's obviously something wrong with that car,
but
even so I wouldn't call it a ringing endorsement of the TT exhaust.
