QUOTE(mark04usa @ Jul 22 2015, 08:14 PM)  Glad to hear that you will be back to 914 upfixin soon. I have gotten some very useful instruction from your posts here and elsewhere, Pat. Thanks! One thing I wish you would share is your experience with early rear valence and Bursch exhaust, as I will soon have that combination on my '70 1.7. Cheers, Mark Mark, This was my experience with the Bursch exhaust in 1973 (funny how you can remember things from40+ years ago, yet forget to put out the trash!). I removed the "snow plow" valence and factory muffler, bolted on the Bursch, and tried to refit the plow. Close, but about a half inch off. Elongated the valence hole by grinding off a half inch ( I should be throttled for that!). Remounted & it fit, though snugly. Unfortunately there was a lot of torque movement with the exhaust, causing periodic vibration against the valence metal. After about 4-6 months the valence gave up to stress cracks and split into 2 pieces! I would recommend using the later valence with a Bursch. I would also recommend NOT using a Bursch exhaust because it's loud for no reason. Pat |

PO of my car tried it. Tailpipe doesn't fit the opening of the valence well. He made it work but wasn't pretty. Stock muffler works best. - my opinion. Yes, the stock muffler would be best...wish that I had one, but it is $400! Some of us here have more limited funding. I need to get some use out of the new Bursch exhaust that I have had in stock for years now. If there is only an alignment problem with the tailpipe, that seems to be something that could be sorted out for less than $400 for another exhaust system. Thanks, Mark I bought a used stock muffler for $125 and threw out the bursch. Or do as Pat said and use a later rear valence. |
