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):

I remember on my first 914 in '74, I wanted the rear window tinted so I went to a plastics place and bought a sheet of 3/16" of 1/4" dark smoked plastic. I asked then to cut it to a pattern I made off my rear glass and they did that for a small fee. I was able to slip it in up against the inside of the rear glass and the B pillar and top Targa trim held it tightly in place. I used electrical tape to run a strip along the bottom of the plastic to seal it. It never moved or made any noise and looked good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
