I'm looking for a new exhaust for the -6. I have an older 2-in, 2-out exhaust which looks like it was a 2-in, 1-out at some point but was modified by welding up the single outlet and adding two log center outlets under the bumper.

I've been looking at the "banana-stylIe" mufflers as well as the custom-style that uses a couple of tubes into a large single Magnaflow muffler.

Does anyone have any experience with M&K or another banana-style besides the stock Dansk replacement?

What about other custom alternatives?

I'm looking for a sporty sounding street exhaust.

Thanks for any replies, ideas.

Burscht.

They seem to be really good, add a little HP, and sound nice. Get one for a 911 and it will bolt on.

Just switched from a stockish banana to a M&K 2 in 1 out. I love it, not too load for me at all. IMHO it is a big improvement in sound.

Note that the 911 muffler has the tailpipe in a slightly different location than the 914-6 one does. If you have the 914-6 deep "porthole" valence, you'll want the 914-6 muffler.

Since you already have the two-out muffler, you probably either have the later "shorty" valence or none at all, so the 911 tailpipe won't be noticeable.

SCART muffler. I have one on my -6 and love it. I went with the super sound model and it is loud and rancid.

Please post a video of the car running the Scart. I love the sound but heard from one source that some mid range power could be lost? Due to the open nature/lower restriction of the super Sound model? I have never seen any hp comparison figures with and without the Scart though. I hope that is not the case because i want one but $1300 for great sound with a power hit would not be ideal.

You should go with an m&k 2in1 out early as the tail pipe will be in the correct location..

I'm running the triad muffler with my 3.2. Sounds great and it's much cheaper than other duel exhaust options. Down side it's a little louder than a single turbo muffler. I'm also getting a little drone at around 2500 rpms.

Here are two more videos of what a vintage 911 sounds like with the SCART exhaust.....

I'm trying to figure out what to do about my car too. I have the Triad and it's just too loud for me. Saturday I did a 75 mile tour and wore padded headphones the whole time. On the way home I took off the headphones and had a headache when I arrived. Next week I have an appointment for a local muffler expert to look at the system and see if we can modify it to make it quieter. Might be easier and faster to just by a muffler that fits with the headers. Since it uses the stock 2.0 hanger, I'm thinking the 911 ones will fit. I have the MSDS valance so I don't need to worry about the location of the tail pipe(s).

Awesome. I have seen that video several times. I did not know that was your car. You have an S spec motor correct? Have you run the same motor with any other mufflers and if so what was the performance difference? If driving the car long distance is it uncomfortably loud?

I wish I could try one before i put down the money.

Motor is a 2.4 MFI S engine out of a 1973 911. I had a regular 911 muffler prior to the SCART and didn't notice a performance difference. The Super Sound is not loud in car when cruising. I know it is very loud when I pass cars on a two lane road because when passing cars traveling in the opposite direction or driving under a overpass it is loud. In the driver's seat really not bad at all.

So Dave, are you saying that if I'm running a short valance, that any of the Dansk 2-in, 2-out 911 mufflers would bolt up and the tailpipes would work?

Michael - The next time I see you and you are in your Six, I have to hear it and go for a ride if possible. That Scart sounds beautiful. Merry Christmas-

I have had a two in two out MK and felt (and had heard) lots of "resonance " if that is the correct description. At certain rpms it rattles your brain.
Love the sound of the Posted unit ...but 1300??? Really does it provide other pleasures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
