Muffler choice, trying to figure out what to do.. Options

['73-914kid]

Well, now that I've elected to keep the 914 and try to make it more quiet, I need to decide what to do exhaust wise..

I currently have a Kerry Hunter header with a Flowmaster 40 series Delta flow behind it. It sounds absolutely awesome around town, and when you get on it, it screams. But....
The freeway drone is killing me. I drive 3 hours every weekend on the freeway, and I'm going deaf because of it.

My first thought was to pick up a stock muffler and throw heat exchangers back on the car. But, I found a youtube video of a car with stock HE's and the OEM Banana muffler on it, and it sounded, well, like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Does anyone have any experience with quiet aftermarket mufflers? people on other forums seem to like the sound of Turbo mufflers, but I don't really know much about aftermarket muffler setups, other than that my 40 series is chambered, and way too loud on the freeway..


Any advice regarding muffler choice, ie. brand, type, etc. Would be much appreciated.

Tanks, Ethan

Cool. Glad you got it worked out. Any more details on the muffler you had put on?

I swapped out my Triad for a while with a stock muffler on my carb'd 2056 with SSIs. We were heading for Atomic Ramble and I didn't want a lot of exhaust noise. It sounded good on acceleration, very quiet on decel. I came to find out that my Triad wasn't any louder at highway speeds, so it went back on. Love the Triad. They have a very low, somewhat louder exhaust note, but there is no drone at all. Best sounding 914/4 muffler out there IMO.
