ETKA says the muffler is 901.111.011.11
The difference is the tailpipe portion, which has a different bend to it. Unless you are using an original valence or participating in national-level concours, either will work fine. Interestingly, the tail pipe portion has its own part number - 901.111.289.00 - but I'd guess there's no chance of finding that separately any more. The chrome tip 'ornamental echaust pipe' is 901.111.245.01 (for completeness). 1969 911 'silencer' is 901.111.025.00 |

You can use a 911 muffler IF you do not have the stock -6 valance. The -6 muffler was bent at the correct angle for the hole in the rear valance.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Dec 23 2012, 07:07 PM)  You can use a 911 muffler IF you do not have the stock -6 valance. The -6 muffler was bent at the correct angle for the hole in the rear valance. Early OE mufflers had the part number (and production date ) stamped into them. The stamped info is visible at lowest curve of the chamber, nearer the passenger side inlet. Most were Leistritz. The challenge is to find one that is not rusted to illegibility..... or oblivion! Rust free, forty year old muffler ? yeah, no problem. If you are serious about this and need photos or an example for tailpipe shape/orientation I have perfect examples. |

Thanks y'all!
I have an original rear valance.... As fate has it, ebay came up with what was advertised as an OEM 6 muffler, never installed, but some surface rust (presumably from storage), esp on one side...it doesn't look that bad from the pics. So I"ve pulled the trigger, thanks to your help re numbers etc. I've never seen one come up, so if this is indeed the real deal, then it's a gift to my original 6... And a thanks again from you. All the best Paul |
