I was very fortunate to purchase an almost new Bursch muffler from a fellow 914World member. Next to my Mahle wheels, it is the best upgrade I have done to my teener. I just love the sound! Every time I go into town, people turn their heads.

I don't have a Gopro but I do have a very good professional grade video camera that has an awesome microphone. I placed the camera in the rear trunk and recorded my Bursch while accelerating. The microphone is less than two feet from the Bursch. Turn up your volume and enjoy.

And this is Bursch's quiet muffler!

Maybe my laptop speakers just suck, but all I can hear is valvetrain noise. Sounds like a diesel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Having said that, the exhaust tip looks like the one on my muffler, which was installed by the dealer back in '73. If it is, then I understand exactly what you mean - that exhaust note was always perfect.

Any chance you might drive down to Flowery Branch some weekend while I'm out there at my father-in-law's place? I'd love to hear it and see if this is the same one. If it is, I'll buy another. Mine rusted off awhile back and I haven't replaced it yet...

My card had a Bursch already installed when I got it. I liked the sound too and it has a bit of a roar. My buddy up the street who knew nothing of 914's asked about the car when he saw me in it. He said, "... sounds like a Volkswagen".

Hmmmmm.
