I am putting a 2.4L 911 engine in a 1972 914 but need a muffler. The catalogs show two types (1965-73 and 1974) of 2-in/1-out 911 mufflers which differ only in the shape of the tailpipes. Either will bolt to my headers, but which type best fits the 1972 and later short 914 valance with a cut-away but not a hole for the tailpipe? Anybody know?

The difference is in the way the exhaust tip is bent. They exited differently because of the bumper change between 73 to crash bumpers of 74. I picked up a later SS one with the intent of bending the tip to fit the short valance. Either one will work you just have to modify. Hope this helps.
