I have, in the past, experimented with exhaust systems for various vehicles and bikes. Most of the time it was to take someone elses ideas and make them work on my project. Has anyone tried this with a type IV?
I have 2 original type exhausts and even thought of modifying one of them for a deeper sound or better air flow. What have you done that I can learn from? (besides go out and buy a bursch)

We are pretty lame when it comes to custom exhaust work. I spent two years farting around with mufflers and the such (the company who made all the stainless heat exchangers for the 914's) and we had a muffler that had access panels built into it. We had baffle plates (4 of them) in the muffler. Each plate had 100 or so threaded holes. We would add or remove little allen bolts to those holes to produce the back pressure and sound that we wanted. It was a painstaking task... but it worked. Once we found the proper combo we would stamp out new baffle plates with the number of holes we had left over after installing X number of screws.

Is anybody interested in this type muffler. It is SS and is two in two out. Weighs about 14lbs. Designed for a 6 but it should sound pretty decent for a 4. No sound bites for a 4 but if your interested send me an email and I can send a sound bite on a six. It is for sale and orders are being taken. Has a nice throaty sound too it. Already have many happy customers.
$300

Send me the sound bite... im just curious how it sounds. I have some "idea's" for my v8 sound.. adalen@pacbell.net

Oh you guys might like this... Im planning on buying the new corvette mufflers... I love the sound of a corvette, and it should be just loud enough with the headers straight to the stock mufflers (oh ya... quad tip....)

FYI, they'll be a lot louder than a Vette without cats in the system.

Brad:
What engine types did you try them on? I am looking for a throaty sound with a bit better air flow than stock. I was told the Bursch are too quiet (street model) or too loud (off road model) but I have never really heard either of them.
I have the shop, materials and time to build over the winter (8 months of winter up here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) and just thought I would see who has done what and can I improve upon it?

Is this your muffler?
The muffler looks home made, is it?
How did you baffle it?

These people sell tubing bends and collectors and mufflers.
I've seen some of the collectors and they are works of art.

Anybody have a Boxster type muffler on their car? I really like the exhaust tip in the middle.

A couple of years back, a friend of mine took a D&D exhaust canister from a honda CBR600f2, got some tubing bent to come out of the header and tuck it under the fender of his 67 bug. It wasn't real loud while cruising, but man did it wake up when you stepped on it. Awesome deep throaty sound!! The engine was a 1776 by the way.

Yes that was a 3.0. Sounds just as good on a 2.7.
