Title: Deano Dyno-Soar Merged Collector Post by: deano on October 18, 2010, 02:39:26 am Thanks to Paul Schley for IDing this one. We were at Fontana today, and he pointed out a very rare exhaust system. This particular system was only made between 1968-1969 by S&S Headers FOR Deano Dyno-Soars. This was the first "production" merged system made for the VW, prior to 4-Tuned. What is unique about this system is the collector. Notice how the individual tubes run right into the collector. In other words, the collector is not a separate piece that was bench welded, and then installed to a fixture. And because this, the labor was way high, which finally was doomed due to S&S not being able to make it for DDS any longer. After this system was dropped, S&S made a stamped (short) collector for DDS, which is far more common today. If Paul didn't point out the finer points of this system, I would have never noticed its construction method. A piece of Deano history (and the VW aftermarket for that matter).

Title: Re: Deano Dyno-Soar Merged Collector Post by: deano on October 18, 2010, 15:45:45 pm Yes, similiar in many ways, but S&S was first with a production merged collector. But 4-tuned's Bob Sanchez soon became the king of that style of header (they made them for Berg for years).

Title: Re: Deano Dyno-Soar Merged Collector Post by: Kaferdog on October 18, 2010, 21:37:55 pm I saw that header sittin there ...I didn't even see anything important about it ...! Sometimes walkin the swap a few more times you see things that you missed the first time !.....Good eye ..!
Title: Re: Deano Dyno-Soar Merged Collector Post by: RUSS74GHIA on October 19, 2010, 07:07:32 am That's interesting, it's identical to mine except mine's 1 5/8.
Apart from 4T then did anyone else make one with this type of collector? Title: Re: Deano Dyno-Soar Merged Collector Post by: deano on October 19, 2010, 16:55:53 pm Chase Morse. But only by custom order.
