There were some pics posted in another thread of a 914 in Germany, I think, that had a Boxster muffler. I liked it! Has anyone here done that or know anything about the installation?

Uh, 986 mufflers do not weigh 60 pounds, and I have a hard time believing the aftermarket muffler claims that say they'll trim 28 pounds off the car... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I was hoping they were right (28 pounds sounded like a GREAT savings), but I found an extra Boxster muffler for $30 last week and snagged it to fiddle with for our 986. It's a very, VERY nice piece of stainless-steel goodness, and picking it up, I'd guesstimate it at about 30-40 pounds -- maximum.

Interestingly, the guy who was selling it wanted to put it on a 356 Outlaw project (a great idea) and I started wondering if it might fit on the 914... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

And, obviously, it does.

But the approach angles from the headers are hardly idea compared to the straight-back 914 setup... thoughts?

I'll see if I can weigh it... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
