Sebring vs Bursch or even something else, The raspy Bursch is killing my sense of P.O.S. car Options

Some already know by reading my thread, I backdated my exhaust on a 75' 2.0.

Now that it's back to FI form, the loudest and most annoying part of the 914 is the hidously raspy sound that resonates through the tail pipe.

My 914 sound very similar to an early 70's Vega my parents had back in the day.

I have only a couple pieces left from the bursch header system I removed from the car. I'm thinking of either welding one of the little glasspacks just beffore the bursch muffler to help reduce the resonating, or just chucking this whole system off a deep cliff and getting something else.

Anyone know of a good header package that actually sounds quiet? I miss the low quiet tone of the 75' system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Shot of original system, even with cat removed, it was still really quiet. Also good shot of the two little glass packs I can maybe do something with?

I have a '76 2.0 backdated to SS HE's and I used a "74 style Bursch for quite a while, which I have never found to be annoying.

That said, I assume the '75 Bursch system in your photo is quiet because of the little glasspack resonators before the main muffler. I never have heard one of those run. The problem with the '74 style Bursch is there isn't a lot of room to add a resonator, either before or after the muffler. Maybe you could cut the pipe after the final 2-into-1 collecter, extend the pipe pushing the elbow further to the right, then squeeze a resonator in the pipe leading to the muffler.
