How do you get stock-like appearance and sound from a wevo/915 car? Patrick sells a system that uses 2 huge cylindrical cans, but I think there will be ground clearance issues on my driveway.

Another option is to cut a chunk out of the stock banana muffler to clear the wevo. Does anyone sell such a system? If you do it yourself, do the innards need to be mod'd, or is it simply cut and weld?

I'd really like to do something similar to the patrick, but with small flat mufflers like Bursch on '76 914-4. But then you are on your own sound-wise, and I don't want something obnoxious or ricer, and it seems aftermarket mufflers are designed to be loud.
This is strictly a street car.

Help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I wanted a stock appearance as well and there were few options with a WEVO. I ended up extending my headers a couple of inches and then using a M&K stainless unit. No mods needed for the muffler (except the header extension) Very light (about half of a 911 unit). It's louder than stock for sure but I believe they make a quieter option now. It tucks up very nice. I scrubbed mine down with a Scotch Brite sheet so it has a nice brushed stainless look. Not cheap but equivalent to SSI headers in quality.

If you call, talk to Ben and ask to help you out based on our conversation and perhaps he'll help you out on price.
