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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) 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 pick up a used Monza on Monday that I have to clean and paint, but if I don't like that, I am going to get the Triad West.
I can't stand the Dansk 2.0L pickle muffler. Sounds like there is a baffle loose, and at that price, I will throw it in storage and keep trying things till I like the sound. I think the Triad West looks and sounds cool, without giving up the SSHE's I have. We will see. Maybe the Monza will sound nice? The best 2.0L system I ever had was a 4 pipe Super Sprint on my first 73 in Oly Blue. I would pay serious dollars for one in good shape. That system was so good, I am sorry I can't find one. It had a note to die for. Can't even find a picture of mine, or one anywhere. John |
