Looking to pick up SSI's as my next mod, anybody add them ? What muffler did you team them up with? Car is still 90% street driven need combo to be semi quiet with no resonance.
thanks,
Tom

Tom,
Good question - I'm also intersted in the response - I've hear that a Dansk muffler goes quite well but I've also heard their quality has slipped a little.

I have an '86 Carrera with SSI's and an OEM Porsche sport muffler. The combination sounds great together. I have heard the Dansk and other after market mufflers with the SSI's and they produce a little bit more of a throatier sound.

Here is a short video of me at an autocross, with SSIs and a Dansk.

I have SSI's and a Dansk muffler on my '70 E. The muffler is aluminized and is about 8 years old and the SSI's about 5 years. It sounds pretty much like stock to me. You can't beat SSI heat exchangers. They fit perfectly and will never rust. Just what you need in NYC.

Won't you have a problem in NYC with emissions? SSI if I'm not mistaken go on w/out a cat, considering the same mod here in NJ and I'm concerned about inspection...Any advice?

The 3.0L engine may pass a sniffer test, but would fail the physical observation test that most states have. I'm not one to recommend that anyone use SSI's for a year or two (or whatever period the state allows) and then put the old system back on for two reasons: 1) It's a nuissance and more importantly 2) broken exhaust studs are annoying to fix. Of course if you replace all your exhaust studs, use copper nuts and copper anti-seize, that would, for the most part, eliminate #2.

I did ask my wrench in NJ about it, he says that he can get it to pass the snifer and since he has a long standing relationship with the owner of a state licensed but private inspection station across the street, they don't always need to do the visual...if you know what I mean, wink, wink, nudge, nudge...
A state run free facility will fail the you on the visual here in NJ....just something to consider...BTW I saw an ad on e-bay today for a place that is selling thin flange ssi for $849 a pair, sounds like a good price to me....

I had SSI's with AJ USA's dual outlet sport muffler. GREAT sound and not very expensive. I had them jet-hot coated and they looked great also.

Hey adamred, I too live in the Garden State and just had SSI's And Dual out Dansk installed in the spring. I am good till 2006(?) but would love to get the name of your wrench when I have to go for that dreaded inspection. Harry

All we now use are Monty mufflers.
Better quality & construction than anything else, excellent power, and a nice sound without being intrusive. Lifetime guarantee, too.
You get what you pay for,...
