TheSamba.com :: View topic - ok going with a Tri-mil exhaust, now which one? LOL

Wed Mar 27, 2019 10:48 am

So I have been doing a lot of research here on the Samba and good old Youtube on exhaust replacements for my 1973 standard beetle. I been hearing a lot of good things on the tri-mil 2 tip exhausts. The problem is when I go to the website it turns out there is a bunch of versions of Tri-mil. Don't know which one to get but I do know I want to retain my heater boxes, stay with a single carb with manifold heat tubes for now and in ceramic coating.

Can anyone point me to which Tri-mil exhaust I need?

Thanks!

The two tip is really your only choice for your application. Most of them are made for off-road/open compartment cars. The two tip is not a real performance enhancement, you want something in a merged style if you're looking for more power.

I am running this exhaust on my 1776 stock heads, heater boxes and 36 Dells. Very happy so far. Had them on for about 2 1/2 years and no rust at all so far.

Since I am running dual carbs I asked them to eliminated the heat risers and they did so without any fuss.

Very happy with my interactions with So Cal Imports.
