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 with '74 style back dated exhaust. I started off with a Bursch, but also did NOT like the raspy sound. I replaced the muffler this past May with a Walker stainless steel job, and it's like night and day. While I was at it, I had the bung for an O2 sensor welded onto the collector. Here's the thread-

Good thread, thanks! Certainly some more ideas for me to think about....

Here is a picture of the Monza i just took off, and a custom job that was sent to me from chris Banus- My h.e.'s were shot(75 2.0) so i am backdating to a 74 system, picked up new/used S.S. h.e. for great price, now have to decide which muffler- I liked the Monza sound not tinny or raspy. However, Chris had this but all the pipes had surface rust, so as you can see i removed the rust with wire brush, then rust remover from eastwood, then high temp. manifold paint(silver) -
if you look close I think this was custom made using the central pipes from a monza, someone welded in the new mufflers and added the single pipe on both sides. If it works out and i like the sound- i will cut the tips off and add SS tips from local auto supply.
(thanks Chris!)
I think the Magnaflow is a great Idea, just take the central pipes and the flanges off the monza if you do not like it, and have them place the magnaflow sport SS in there and you will be set!
