Best exhaust set up for EA81 1986 Brumby/Brat

Featured Replies

Hi Folks,

 

Looking at putting a weber carb (32/36) on my Brumby but prior to that I am looking at upgrading the exhaust to see if I can release any more power.  I don't hat a catalytic converter, so any ideas on what set up I should run after the "Y" connection?  I was thinking 2 inches, resonator and free-flow muffler?

 

Cheers,

Could go 2 1/4" rather than 2" - some have gone to 2 1/2" but I think for a Weber set up 2 1 1/4" is more than sufficient. Add a hotdog for the mid-pipe.

Hi dfoyl,

 

Thanks for your thoughts, i will consider that.  

 

Happy for as many views as possible. Just want to get it right, not too big and not too small (sounds familiar?).

 

Cheers,

I run two inch stainless with a Magnaflow muffler on all of mine. 

 

Sounds good, and it will be the last exhaust you put on the car.

2" pipe then resonator then 90 degree turn upward through the bed behind the seats and a flapper to keep water out and look badass.

Excellent replies Folks,

Sounds like two inches is the popular opinion.

Cheers,

Another 2" with Magnaflow stainless steel muffler. Had mine for years and sounds good, not too loud!

Hey Folks,

 

2 inches of free flowing exhaust fitted, one happy chappy, bring on the Weber asap :)

Hi Barra,

 

Did you get any noticeable power increase from the 2" system?

Where in the system did the muffle get fitted? And do you get any droning sound from it?

I'm running a bog stock ea81 with the original carb.

 

Cheers,

 

Wobs.
