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?

That cutaway is VERY interesting! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap56.gif)
Steve de Jung and I were looking over the stock muffler in his shop before we started (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) Both of us agreed it is a VERY nice piece -- much, much nicer than the quality of any of the aftermarket mufflers -- with the possible exception of the $22,500 muffler category... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The stock muffler will probably outlast the 986. I'd be curious to know how much a Dansk weighs... Also, the factory mufflers are well known for losing no power, and probably have exactly the right back pressure for torque in particular places. I've been looking into doing a muffler bypass mod on the stock muffler like this: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...st=entry38824 But I am now having second thoughts about if there will be a negative affect on torque due to a reduction in back pressure. I guess the only way to find out is to build it and dyno it. Maybe a pair of shut-off valves are the way to go? Or active flaps? What a hassle that would be... Or back to back with a stock muffler and then use Vice-Grips to crimp them shut if it don't work... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |
