Title: What does your Europa sound like today?
Post by: BDA on Friday,September 06, 2019, 01:56:20 PM: Well, we had a forum topic, "What does your Europa look like today?". After Surf posted his LS6 purring in his Europa and asked, "Does your Europa sound like this?" (the obvious answer is "No!") I thought it might be fun to hear what other Europas sound like so I'm posting mine here.

Not much of a 'silencer'. Maybe it's just a resonator.

Gotta say BDA this is a great idea for a thread!! Your car sounds delightful. I hope to hear it in person one day.

I am working on it ;)

Here is what Paul's Europa sounds like:

Post by: BDA on Monday,September 09, 2019, 05:11:28 PM: Pfreen, did you swap your carbs to SUs or did the PO do that? Both your and literary's cars sound great!
Title: Re: What does your Europa sound like today?
Post by: Pfreen on Monday,September 09, 2019, 05:13:02 PM: The po did that. They are Hitachi SU’s off a 71 240z. They work really well.

Sounds great, but I knew that. What muffler did you use? I have a Magnaflow.

Thanks Paul. Power Flow Exhausts in the UK custom made my headers and complete exhaust system. Alex in the UK used them to make the complete exhaust system for his 6 Europa’s and I piggy backed on his order. They do great work. Thanks again Alex!

Post by: Sofa King on Friday,November 01, 2019, 07:03:14 PM: I spent the afternoon today at Corsa Performance. They are looking into using my car to do some “research” on their new “Crate Exhaust” program. I’m hoping to have an updated sound clip of my car in a few week!
