Countach exhaust system

I'm sorry Roman, there must be an error: "Ansa Sport" and "boring sound" cannot be joined.

 

Nobody ever told me my car has a boring sound! i cannot take out my car from the box early in the morning or i would wake up all my neighbors!

 

Poor fit is very strange, unless you have the USA rear bumper: it doesn't fit unless you ask in advance you need the USA bumper type.

 

You need connecting tubes too, and if you have the cat manifolds (those shitty insulated tubes for FI cars) you need the manifolds too (the tubes coming out engine exhaust ports on the heads side).

 

Poor finish: yes, the Ansa has not a perfect finishing, but just in the part under the car, the visible part is good finished.

 

ciao

 

exactly!

 

i heard the most common sport exhausts for countach ...from stock to Al burtoni to Kriesseg to Tubi ...etc

 

the ANSA and QS have the right good 80's sound imo

the kriesseg is too "modern F1" for an old car like the countach...it sounds good but does not match well with the car look-period

 

as for the quality: i had a 30 years old ANSA SPORT on my old S...it is still on the car with current owner today and worcking perfect

 

as for finish: ANSA is really hand made and it looks so, so i am sure there are exhausts with better finish

ok they never heard one so

 

No... These are people who bought them... And are unhappy.

 

Bottom line for me, the Ansa is out.

 

I guess its between the QS and the Larini

Couldnt give a shit.

 

I'm saying "That sounds Boring"... Your response is "Its not boring, it sounds like the 80s"

 

Lets bottom line this: "Sounds like the 80s= boring".

Poor fit & finish, Boring sound, etc.

 

BTW... The pictures emilio posted of the stock sport exhaust, LOOK LIKE MY EXHAUST RIGHT NOW. ( Not the big stupid box one... I dont have that )

 

Eric,

 

please post a pic of your exahust so we can see what is on your car

i think you have the stock FI US exhaust on

 

that is plain boring sound and ugly look

Couldnt give a shit.

so you think QS sounds boring?

No... These are people who bought them... And are unhappy.

QS sound the same as ANSA sport

so you think QS sounds boring?

 

Yeah... Kinda... We wouldn't be having this conversation otherwise. Id just go with the QS and be done with it.

Car is 2000 miles away.

well, go for the Larini

 

it is different

Thats what took me three pages to discover...

 

Diagram of the thread since I rebooted it three days ago:

 

R: "Tell me about exhaust, my priority is X"

 

QS guys: "Get the QS, it is Y and Z"

 

RD: "What about X?"

 

QS Guys "Better X than stock"

 

RD: "I want a LOT better X than stock."

 

Enter the ANSA guys: "Then get an Ansa, its A&B."

 

RD: "What about X?"

 

Ansa guys: "X Much better than stock"

 

Enter Larini guys: ""Larini is X"

 

Ansa guys "But its not A&B"

 

RD "but is it X?"

 

Ansa guys "We dont care about X, We care about A&B."

 

 

 

Romandad,

 

if you want an exahust that sound very hi pitched get the krieseeeisiseigigis ...whatever is called

be prepared to spend a crazy amount of money though

 

if you want an exhaust that sounds deeper get the QS or ANSA

 

the Larini is in the middle i seem to remember but still less hi pitched than kriesseisisgesisi...etc

 

 

i forgot...there is also japan brand that makes a 2 tips exhaust for countach ...it is a bit more hi pitched than the ANSA/QS imo

I think Im leaning away from the kreisseig because of the placement of the pipes... I would have to move my license plate up, and Im not doing that.

 

My one downside now is, I havent been able to hear a larini... And thats a bit of a problem as my taste is obviously different than the rest of the known universe.

 

 

Edit.. I just looked at the picture of the Kreisseig for the QV and it doesnt have the "Sticking up in the air pipes" like the 25th does... Id probably have to lose my inboard toasters though... But Im not hugely opposed to that.

Anyone have any recommendations for a sport exhaust system?

 

I'm looking at the orginal Ansa but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

Dear Bartman, maybe CT is just an old boring car and maybe an old "boring" exhaust like the Ansa Sport perfectly fit in that old and boring car.

 

I forgot to say you I'm not an Ansa dealer nor a Quicksilver dealer nor i have any money advantage whatever exhaust you get. Ansa is available both in steel and stainless steel, Quicksilver in Stainless steel. Retail price of the Ansa is (more or less, this is what i remember) 1700 euro + 21% VAT. I asked two times here to know the QS price but there was no answer so i do not know which of the two is cheaper, but at the end they probably are more or less the same thing as the QS looks to be a later copy of the Ansa Sport.

 

My car wears a steel Ansa Sport since three years and it still works: i think it will last by far longer than the engine.

 

Have a nice choice.

 

ciao

X is

 

ok, if you want something that makes this effect

my friend at ANSA production can build one "straight pipes" custom for you

 

 

i am not sure your neighbours will love you

Have I ever sung you my song?

 

 

It goes something like this.... (give me a beat...)

 

 

"fcuk the Neighbors, fcuk fcuk the neigh-bors"

"fcuk the Neighbors, fcuk fcuk the neigh-bors"

"fcuk the Neighbors, fcuk fcuk the neigh-bors"

"fcuk the Neighbors,fcuk the Neighbors, fcuk those fcuking neighbors."

 

 

Dude... I have 92 fcuking acres.... I SHOOT .338 LAPUA MAGNUM RIFLES in my backyard.... My car isnt going to bother anybody.

well, good for you

i have no idea what a 338 lapua magnum rifle is but i guess it would wake someone up

go straight pipes so

Larini is very similar to Ansa and QS.

I think Im coming back to Koniseigfheyissisisggegsgggsgehgsg

So the copy is better? Once i saw an excellent Countach copy with a 5.7 liter Chevy V8 in the engine bay that had a fantastic chrome finish on the head covers and a wonderful Holley with a giant chromed air filter cap: that had a by far better finish, price, reliability, weldings (and fitting...) than my very expensive V12 five liter Italian made engine with six bad finished Weber carbs and just a black air filter cover...

 

ciao

I think that's a bit different comparison. What I'd look for is the finish on the overall exhaust rather than focus on name. Sloppy welds even on areas where not viewable doesnt mean it should be acceptable. I'm not sure if I was the buyer I would accept anything less than perfect workmanship.

People are getting their panties in a bunch over exhaust choices..its noo big deal people.

You know where Im coming from Allan. I want to make the "right" decision so I wont be disappointed.

I didn't know they wore panties?... Lol. Seriously, as I stated before, quality acceptable to you and sound acceptable to you along with agreeable price is all you need to know... A sticker or a plaque showing the brand becomes irrelevant. I put a ms straight race exhaust on based on a few considerations, the quality of the exhaust and sound. Did I ever heard of ms racing then? Not really....and this was like 5-6 years ago.

I think one of the biggest factors that changes the sound between the carbed F/I cars is the design of the F/I header... Those must be changed.
