Fellas:
Well, it looks like I will need a new muffler and also will need to add a cat to my 76 914.
Some of the mufflers I'm seeing on the net or 914s don't look like they'd fit my car.
Can you guys tell me what you think of your mufflers and where did you buy it and
how much did it cost?
I am assuming I will need to add a cat to my car in order to pass emissions here in WI.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

Thanks!
Andy...

doesn't everyone have a shop or inspection station that magically passes everyone for a small "fee" for "tweaking mixture settings"? If you go to the right place they might not even do the visual (or realize that old car HAD an air pump) After all, many people haven't seen a flat-4 in a while, especially one buried in the middle of a car.

My friend's brother in law runs an emission tester van so I'm not really worried (yet). I also can get classic plates in Idaho in another year that will totally exempt my car (30 year rule). Say what you like, but I think that most of the "rules" are really designed to charge the populace an extra $20 for the test rather than actually have a positive effect on the environment.

914zim is checking the measurements I sent on that muffler so we'll see - we may have a winner!

then I'll get to start researching what I want to do on my 914 when it gets back together. I see there's a heat exchanger available for the tangerine system now. but the cost!!!! it is a work of art, tho. maybe I'll try to make my own (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
