Making a 914-6 Conversion your own, The Quest for Quiet Options

[Root_Werks]

The Six Conversion:

2.7 CIS with 993 cams, 46/40 valves, 911S 8.5:1 CIS Pistons with Nikasil cylinders. Guessing it produces slightly more than stock 2.7S HP and has a much lower, broader TQ curve.

Current exhaust is stock 914-6 HE's and one of Ben's SS Quiet mufflers. Been very happy with the exhaust note the past few years, but always wondered if stock would be quieter.

Ben's Quiet Muffler ( I did have to reclock the tip as it was more for 1974-up 911):

Noise canceling earbuds make a huge difference and are a lot cheaper and easier than mods to the car. I have a couple sets that I use for riding my indoor bike trainer. Even the $20 set that I bought off Amazon work great.
I’m often driving an older diesel pickup that’s pretty noisy. The earbuds help immensely. I can also talk on the phone hands free in a normal voice. I feel like driving is less tiring when the environment is quieter.
If the earbuds aren’t your thing, I get it but they are definitely worth trying if the noise is getting to you when you’re on the road. I wish they were around in the 80’s when I used to drive my 914 on long trips.
