I have been looking for a new product for a while. I currently manufacture 13 parts for the 914-6 market and wanted to do something for the 4cyl market. I have waffled for a couple of years on 4cyl mufflers and think I am ready to commit to making some. Would even offer a group buy . what I am thinking of offering is a 2in 1 out similar to a 914-6 muffler. They would be 6" diameter, 2.5" tail pipe and I would start by making the most popular set up voted by all of you. So if you were in the market for a quality stainless muffler would it be for a 2.0 or a 1.7/1.8?
I also should note I am not looking to compete with anyone here so would only offer it with standard tail pipe location. There also would need to be someone commited to testing one of them as well as I don't have a 4cyl car. And dad's car won't be drivable for years. Attched are some pictures of my 2 in 1outs we made for the 6 cyl cars. So what say all ? |

I will be in the market for a 4cyl performance muffler for my '72 1.7L. Trying to convince myself out of dropping $1K for a SCART system now that my car is finally running.
As Stone mentioned, there is a difference in exit pipe location. I installed a late 1.7/1.8 rear valence on my car and my stock tail pipe is slightly further inset than the late valence cut out. An interesting concept may be to offer an adjustable tip that can slide to the position of either cut out location. Some people that don't run a rear valence may not like the sight of a slip joint but I would rock it with a decent looking clamp. |
