What does your Europa sound like today?
« 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.

Warmed-up twin cam:  https://youtu.be/4bGOHpEC0Kk

Not-so warmed-up: https://youtu.be/-oOF2EJxVqU

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

That's TOO funny! You have to get on the stick, Chuck!

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 ;)

Was at Pfreen's house today. Paul helping me dial in my handing with new shocks.  Here is a rear shot of our TCS's this afternoon following the Florida "Citrus Colors Only" rule.

Here is what Paul's Europa sounds like:

Pfreen, did you swap your carbs to SUs or did the PO do that? Both your and literary's cars sound great!

The po did that.  They are Hitachi SU’s off a 71 240z.  They work really well.

Certified,
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!
