I took my wife for her first ride in my Teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) She was not happy with the noise volume. What are my options when it comes to quieter mufflers? I’m not sure what I currently have but I’ve been told that it is not stock. I also know I have an exhaust leak.

Carbs or stock injection? Is the sound pad still present on the engine side of the firewall? Do you have any exhaust leaks? Looks like you're running the Monza four-tip exhaust. It's louder for sure, and is really raspy compared to a Bursch setup's deeper tone.

My current teener has a Bursch muffler with the stock 2.0 D-jet injection and I can't believe how quite it is compared to my '71 that also had a Bursch, but that had been converted over to dual 40 IDF carbs. Intake noise was fun around town, but that much noise made normal conversation a burden and was also rather fatiguing on longer trips (geez, am I getting older or boring?).

Stock hotdog mufflers are heavy.

Cheers,
