Keep your 1.7L stock. A small engine shouldn't try to make noise with it's muffler. Kinda reminds me of all the Asian imports I see driving around Allentown, lowered at all 4 corners with 18 inch wheels, 35 series tires, tinted windows, with ghetto mufflers, makin' all sorts of noise with their little turd engines.
IMO, if you want some more HP out of your 914, scrap the 1.7L and find yourself a good 2L engine. Owning both a 1.7 and 2.0, the 2.0 is a totally different ride with almost enough power to be fun. The 1.7 needs a heavier right foot and lots of revs to get the car moving. Spoke |
