I'm not sure what kind it is, but I'm pretty sure it's the same system I have, so I'm interested as to what kind it is too.

Go to your local muff shop (preferably not a chain type, but independant) and ask them to hook you up. The last time I did this I bought en empi bug muff and had the shop weld the old mounting flange on the new muff. The guy eyeballed the original and welded it on to the new one and it was oriented perfectly. The whole thing cost $40, parts and labor.

I thought about this for 5 minutes...

I would get a Flowmaster muff or other high flow equivalent and have the local shop weld the old flange and a new outlet on it. Bring the entire exhaust and they can rig it so it filts and the outlet is aligned properly.

I agree with Ginty....

Mufflers are cheap and when you read the car mags you get used to the prices of the high end bling bling crap....stuff is cheap and the local muff guys know the biz....take it down and have them fab it up.

That's not a bad idea ginter, the gintman, gintmeister, ginterola.... Thanks. I like the one outlet design. I'll give it a go and just paint it. The pipes look ok - Clean and paint..
Cheap fix

That looks like the old Thunderbird style exhaust system. They were cheaply made and the mufflers didnt last very long. Any muffler shop should be able to fab up a flowmaster to it.

This is the same setup that I have. I had heard that it was made by S & S. My muffler rotted out (cheap muffler), but the equal length 4 to 1 collector was solid, so I welded up a 40 series Delta flow Flowmaster muffler with the appropriate flange and 90 degree elbow and bolted it on. Pretty loud. Not something you want to do if you are afraid of waking the neighbors when you leave in the morning.

I'm pretty sure this is it (but not 100% sure - there are no pictures):

S&S Headers

Scroll down to Porsche exhaust systems. P-92 is for a 2 Liter (it is incorrectly called a header). This would be for the collector portion only. Below that are the muffler portions.

I think Mueller bought one of these thinking it was going to be a header.

yep, the 4 to 1 collector is from S&S, i bought one last year...the idiots call it a header, which to me (and others) it is not........

luckly they took it back, but he refused to change the wording or description.....

when you get this far from the motor, I don't think equal length is going to be that big of a deal on a street car, you could buy a Burch (sp?) that comes with a muffler or get this S&S collector and add a muffler of your choice.

Real headers are better, but they too have thier drawbacks...

I am with ginter, the gintman, gintmeister, ginterola... and Z... local hole in the wall muffler shop that did one of my cars was only about $40 for labor as well... when I had to put in a new cat to pass smog for the last time, I got even cheaper, picked up an aftermarket cat at the FLAPS that was exactly the same size as the cat the muffler shop had installed many years ago, dropped the exhaust, cut out the old cat with a sawzall, welded in the new one myself, and hooked the exahust back up.... even at that, the muffler shop guy probably would have done that second repair all with the exhaust still on the car again for $40 labor. I painted it all the piping nice high temp paint.

Flowmasters also come in different series. Loud, louder, loudest.

My post did not contain "the gintman, gintmeister, ginterola. So... It seems to me that an administrater has definately F'd with my post. You can deny it, but ... I didn't have those words in my post so...? Go figure? I have a great sence of humor and that could have been funny - if I had consented to the "the gintman, gintmeister, ginterola additions that were added to my post. Why in the F would anybody dick with this BBS? If somebody can change what I have posted, who's to say what ELSE they feel like F'ing with? This so far, has proven to be a great site to share 914 info, experiences, and suggestions. Please, don't fuck it up.

I think someone has been playing with the profanity filter.

so it automatically changes "g i n t" to ginter, the gintman, gintmeister, ginterola.... and "B r a d" to Bradholio
