Hello Jonathan, I got it from someone in Spain who made a few for his 911. There is a thread on 914world.com where someone has posted the artwork for every six cylinder made from 2.0 to 3.8. You should be able to get one digitally printed locally.

Matt -It looks the biz and your car was attracting plenty of admirers -I wish I'd stuck around to hear it -is it very loud?

Thanks James!

James, it's fine when capped off but very loud when un-capped, it's running rich at the moment due to carb wear so does tend to light up the hedgerows on overrun

Can you explain the exhaust capping thing to me please?
I assume from what you say that those caps stay on for quieter running but can be taken off, what, for better breathing & more power?

Hi Jon, you're correct in assuming that I cap the exhaust for quieter running, it does attract a lot of attention when un capped and straight through. I have no figures to prove that there is a gain in power when fully open however it does appear to rev more freely and perhaps lack a little low down torque. When next rolling roaded I will have it done with and without caps.
Regards
Matt

I have run the '3 pipe' silencer on a 2.2 on weber, a 2.4 on mech Inj and now the 3.2 in my Bitza 911T from 1991 to today.(and it was not new then so a bit empty inside by now)

The noise levels are a bit OTT with the pipes open but the throttle response is much better on the 3.2 (injected) but was not so noticable on the 2.2/2.4.

I have 2.7 Carrera headers on all 3 engines boosting torque on the 3.2.

Closed off the system is very user friendly and will not scare old ladies too much in the high street. Who drives a 911 down a high street anyway?

The Cosford do looks good Matt. We must drive over there maybe in convoy?

But only on open pipes!

Sounds good Graham,I go every month. If I have chance i'll pop round over the weekend, are you working on the Lola?

Matt

You are more than welcome, could do with a chat about your webers too.

Should be on the Lola mid sat pm or mid am/ all pm sunday.

It is far from complete so don't expect too much!

Hi Graham, if I have chance I'll call on Sunday,do you want me to bring my spare Webers?, you can borrow them if you like,they are ready to run. hopefully talk about them on Sunday. I'm expecting a lot, I've seen your work before,is it quality rather than quantity
