A Bursch exhaust came on my '73 2.0 when I bought it a couple of years ago.
I always thought it was a bit loud due to an exhaust leak I had (thanks for a both a stripped threads on one of my heads and a broken dog ear on that heat exchanger. However, now that the motor has been rebuilt (new heads) and new heat exchanger has been installed and all exhaust leaks have been addressed, I'm still finding it too loud. I recall reading that there were quiet Bursch systems and loud Bursch systems. If that's true, I suppose I have the loud version. It's a bit much for what's basically a stock car (the engine was a 2056 rebuild). What's available out there new (or used if in great condition) that would be quieter, but not sound like a VW bug. |

The 4-2-1 piping is what counts (in my book). I replaced the muffler with a similar sized but quieter one. I think it was from Edelbrock. New muffler gaskets too.
