Where is the best place or who is the recommended supplier to get a new muffler for my car.
I have take off the Monza muffler that I found ugly and that started to break and would like to go back to a more original muffler. The engine in the car is a 1.8L and the heat exchangers are SS and seem to fit the exchangers that were fitted on 2.0L engine (looking at the image found at page 19 of DR914 Tech tips book). The heat exchanger I have do not have the rise at the back of the exhaust tubes. Anyway, I would like to know your recommendation as to where to go to get the best advice and the best supply for a new muffler. Thanks in advance. |

About a year ago, I replaced my old and loud Bursch exhaust on my '73 2.0 (2056 rebuild) with a new Dansk OEM style exhaust. I have been pleased with the tone and flow. When I installed it, I found the quality of materials was excellent as well.

Had a chance to hear a stock banana muffler on a 2.0 this year and forgot how nice they sound.
Did some searching, wow, not cheap for sure. $700-ish for Dansk. |

Yeah, loving my original 2.0 banana. Can't imagine paying 700 for another one though.

not many choices these days, but best to get a dansk factory replica, we have plenty in stock and install them in our restoration shop all of the time, so good fit good sound and quiet

https://store.vintagespeed.com.tw/914-2-0L-...stem-p180686506 is a nice alternative. I've got the 1.7 muffler and it sounds great. The factory Dansk mufflers are also a great alternative but you can't go wrong for a few bucks more for stainless.
But then again, most folks don't use 914's as daily drivers so steel will last a very long time. It basically comes down to budget. Chris |
