Could someone please post a photo of a 1972 1.7 exhaust system? My project car didn't come with a muffler, my rear valance doesn't have a hole for the tail pipe. I'm looking at getting Vintage speed to make a muffler for it and they want a photo of the exhaust in situ.
Any info would be appreciated Cheers Ian |

I pic won't help much without measurements or I would try to make one for you. |

Have him make whatever and do the cut out after the muffler is made and mounted. |

Looks like the same as a VW type 4 muffler from a Bus, if so then I should be able to use a Bus one. |

Ian,
Here is a picture of the muffler from my 1972 Porsche 914 1.7. My valance does have the exhaust hole. Let me know if you wanna see the valance too. Attached image(s)

Yep, looks just like a bus muffler from 72-74 but a bus muffler exits from the end not the middle.
