I like the throughty sound of the 1000cc plus race bikes - and wouldn't mind that sound from my 914.

I put a banana style muffler on my 1.7 exhaust on my 2.0 engine but man is it loud - obnoxiously so - especially at night.

I thought that maybe I could cut the muffler of off my muffler assy and install a motorcycle type for nicer sound and be quiter also - this one is rate 80db.

you need to learn your terminology of car parts better, you might have gotten better replys since your subject makes no practical sense (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

as to using those mufflers, it would have to be trial and error, I'm sure they work, but don't expect it to sound like motorcycle....a lot of the sound you hear is due to the mechanical noises of the engine.....I had a single chamber flowmaster on my car and while it sounded good, it was too loud, I am very happy with the V8 style "turbo" muffler now on the car (with a header).....as for flow with a motorcycle muffler, I would think that if you picked one off of a fairly large bike with high rpm capibility, it'll be okay....a good guide would be to find a bike with a HP rating higher than you 914 (almost all bikes, hahahha)


I agree with JmuRiz, something is wrong with your muffler if it's too loud and a stock system.
