Hi -

The Bursch exhaust on my 1971 1.7L is beyond repair at this point. I unbolted it and need to purchase a new unit. I am pretty open on replacements, meaning I don't have to replace it with another Bursch (of course would like to keep the price manageable but that is another topic...). With that said, minus the Bursch, the car is bone stock and so I would need a new system, the gaskets and the associated bolts as they are not in good shape (I am unsure of the bold size, any help there appreciated too). I did the measurements from a picture I found on the site and I definitely have the dimensions for the 1.7 L HX.

I read in another thread that the tailpipe on a vendor's unit was not compatible with the stock rear valence, so I guess I need to avoid that unit (Dansk?).

I know that 914rubber has a stainless steel system too - anyone have any experience wit that one? Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best,
Reg

@potomacmidget

latest car sold on BAT is a 72 with early valence.
late style 74 muffler, looks new and appears to be dansk.
has the tight side pipe. you must be able to get those pipes somewhere.

@CCE . nice muffler. but its a 2.0. different kettle of fish.
probably sounds good as well. i think porsche designed that muffler for the 2.0 - similar to a 911 muffler. we got the VW mufflers on our smaller engined cars.
thats either a good thing or a bad thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
