New to the forum and new to having a 1974 914 2.0. Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an aftermarket exhaust system? And if anyone in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle) can recommend a great shop to perform some work on it? Thank you!

the factory reproduction dansk is the best overall money can buy for hp and performance. all others lose it on the bottom end or top end or both

Have had a Triad West setup for the past 3 years. Definitely louder than stock, but a fantastic unit.

What do you have now or are replacing?

Another vote for Triad. I had one on my 74 2.0 and loved everything about it. I swear it even picked up some mid range torque with that muffler.

Triad, Tangerine... all been thoroughly vetted and appreciated here. I had a Bursch on a 2.0 way back when and it was fine for a value offering. If I had it to do today, I'd do a T or T.

Thank you everyone for the replies and recommendations. Starting my research on the brands you have mentioned.

Looks to be a few types of Bursch exhaust systems? Anyone have there's ceramic coated?

Currently it's the stock exhaust system I"m looking to replace.

Kerry hunter header /Tangerine Muffler Great lower cost combo

Bursch was s good unit back in the day. Not so much anymore. The header systems are decent, but the mufflers they use are not. Had one that had a hole where they beat the muffler to get it to clear the pipes. The replacement burned out in 6 months. Cut the muffler off and welded on a new one. The muffler tip is attached at the wrong angle which is why they beat it to fit, i think. Doesn't fit in the cut out very well either.

Triad is located in Lacey WA. Contact Dave. A few members in the north end have one on their cars.
