Tangerine exhaust

[oasis]

It had been a while since I surfed around looking at exhausts and noticed one at Tangerine for the Beetle that caught my eye. Does anyone have any experience with this? (This would be for a 2056 or 2270 T4 if I choose this route.)

I know Tangerine has an excellent reputation. I also know their pricing is more than chump change. I just never saw one of their exhausts exit through a stock apron before. It also doesn't seem to be as low as an A-1 -- a consideration I am forced to live with.

Nice welds!!!

Have you viewed the exhaust system shootout on my site yet??? It goes over each system as they rolled off my dyno in back to back tests.

The Tangerine is a SUPER nice system and it fits and has the best quality of any system available. Unfortunately the A-1 was able to knock the Tangerine off it's crowned perch as the best conversion exhaust system for peak power during the exhaust shootout- and the A-1 is 1K bucks cheaper..

Nothing makes torque like a Tangerine, nothing makes HP like the A-1

Just out of curiosity, Jake, how does that test 2270 compare to the kit 2270 you have available?

i've heard one while at Jake's before as well as on his 914. sound is unmatched. his stats speak for the rest. knowing what you are shooting for performance and budget-wise though Oasis, i would think the A-1 is an acceptable route.

Sorry, zen, I wasn't very clear with my question. Jake's answer about dynos in comparing exhausts satisfied my curiosity in the exhaust department.

I liked seeing the dyno charts. I'm a chart and table type person anyway.

I was more curious in my follow-up question about comparing that particular 2270 engine used for testing and the 2270 engine one would get if they bought one of his kits.
