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

The Alien (rich918s) has a center exit.

Brian,
Are these a group buy?
or are they "Now Taking Orders"?

I'll want one, but don't need it for quite a while.

I liked the sound, it just wasnt loud enough for me. Nice tone though!
I think it could have been more throaty with less chambers and a resinator/glasspack somewhere..

Just my thoughts.

This is not a group buy. We have started making these already. Right now were back ordered by about 5 people. With other people waiting in the wings. We should be caught up in a week or two. It is a first come first serve basis. Mufflers are sent out as people pay, in the order they paid.

Aaron,
Not wanting to rain on anyones parade,but I can't help but notice that your muffler looks identical to the one sold by some guys outa New Jersey.Their website is InstantG's and they specialize in early 911 conversions to 3.6 power.
Same muffler,with the same B&B flanges,except,they want about $700.00 for their muff.You say $300.00 for yours,thats a big difference.
I looked at it for my install in my 3.6 6r.
How about some under car pics to see the chassis fit?
Are yours only gonna be setup for B & B headers,or do you have standard flanges,How about tips that come out like the Dansk unit?
Just some quextions.

Ron,

Aaron is not selling his muffler.

Brian,

Your muffler reminds me of the stainless steel muffler sold by Mittlemotor in Germany. It has a single outlet instead of duals. I have one and the sound is similar to the sound in your video. Any connection between the two?

Good luck with this effort. A SS muffler should be popular.

Ron asked some very good questions - but you did not answer them.

You keep talking about using this muffler on a 4 cyl car, but do not give any indication on how to actually put it on. The muffler in the pictures has flanges for a six. Is the muffler offered with flanges that fit a 4 cyl car (and if so, there are 3 different styles: '70-'74 1.7 and 1.8, '73-'74 2.0, and '75-'76 cars). Or are the mufflers that you are selling exactly like the pictures - which means putting headers on a 4 cyl car to make it fit - and in that case, you should specify what style of headers it is made to fit.

Also, the picture showing the muffler on the car is clearly different from the picture showing the muffler on the floor (exhaust tips very different). What exactly are you selling?

These are just questions that any 4 cyl car owner interested in this needs to know.

Demick,

If you look at my first post you'll see I said these were designed for a six. I said they should sound decent on a 4.
I think Ron is looking for a six muffler also. Not sure I just saw the number under his avatar and in his signature.
Again this were designed for a six. 4cyl would have to make some header changes.
I will try to get some pictures for fitament under the car.

Sorry for any confusion

Thanks for the clarification. I suspected that was the case. But I saw a bunch of -4 owners getting excited about this muffler for their cars and wanted them to know exactly what the situation is.

By the way, if you could have the flanges changed to fit 4-cyl cars (esp '73-'74 2.0) I think you could sell a lot of these at $300 each.

That is something were looking into right now. We will also need a "test subject" who can record sound for us.

Brian,
If you make it down for the FFC, we can put a 4 cylinder version on whitey. It's got a Triad on it now. It would be a good comparison.

I do want one for bluecar, though.

Brian,
I indeed will be shopping for a muff for my 6r sometime this year.
I'm curious about the fitment,cause I've already experimented with a couple mufflers.
The banana type is ok,fits as it should.No performance sound there,and single outlet.
I have a used B & B unit.The oval unit would be a lotta work to make it look like a nice fit.It came off a 911.It's tight against the valance.
Yours looks like it maybe a nice fit.What brand is the muff,or do you make the complete unit yourself?I like the type of tip in the pic,straight out the back.Ala"the Dansk unit"
My main reason for a pic of the muff installed,chassis shot is that my car has a 915 box and I like to get a feel for what I'd be in for if I would take the gamble.

How about a pic.

Ron,

These were handcrafted by another 911/914-6 owner. Unfornutely the only 914 that this was in was sold recently. I will try and get a picture from the new owner though. I will also talk to the maker of these and find out more fitament details.

Thanks Brian,
It is a really nice lookin piece,
I've looked at several units out there,and @ $300.00,it's a baragin to me.Even if the unit came to me only tacked together,and I'd finish tig'n it up.

Good part.
Ron
