the original 914 was leistritz, the current porsche exhausts are Dansk, Dansk was a supplier for flapper valves and such. it is identical to the stock one, I will put some pictures up shortly. I was gonna get a bursch, but i wanted an oem style muffler.

I like the factory muffler too. I just won an auction for a stainless leistritz muffler last week or so. I can hardly wait to get it and put it in the car with the 2 liter HE's. Let that motor breathe.

In all the time I've worked on 914s, I have yet to see a SS Leistritz muffler for a 914. The Cap'n

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I thought I read somewhere that primer will actually pull moisture in, since it's porous. Jen |

My understanding was that because it's porous, similar to a thin piece of cloth, the exposed areas will get rusted. Primer needs to be porous in order for the paint to stick. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Yeah, I know. My car was once 2/3 surface rust, and we primered over its unsightliness since I was driving it. I found out later that wasn't so good during the rainy season. It probably aids the rusts more. Proally alright for a couple months, but definitely not a long term solution.

Yah, you're probably ok for a short period of time, but at one point you'll have to remove the primer to get down to the rust, use "Metal Prep" then reprimer and paint. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

I still have original muffler on my car. It still has plenty of miles left. Did 74 1.8's use same manufacturer?

Thanks, ordered one up. I'm sick of how loud my exhaust currently is, a no-name 4 tip thingy that's just about rusted out.
