the original 914 was leistritz, the current porsche exhausts are Dansk, Dansk was a supplier for flapper valves and such. it is identical to the stock one, I will put some pictures up shortly. I was gonna get a bursch, but i wanted an oem style muffler.

I like the factory muffler too. I just won an auction for a stainless leistritz muffler last week or so. I can hardly wait to get it and put it in the car with the 2 liter HE's. Let that motor breathe.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I thought I read somewhere that primer will actually pull moisture in, since it's porous.

My understanding was that because it's porous, similar to a thin piece of cloth, the exposed areas will get rusted. Primer needs to be porous in order for the paint to stick. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Yeah, I know. My car was once 2/3 surface rust, and we primered over its unsightliness since I was driving it. I found out later that wasn't so good during the rainy season. It probably aids the rusts more. Proally alright for a couple months, but definitely not a long term solution.

Yah, you're probably ok for a short period of time, but at one point you'll have to remove the primer to get down to the rust, use "Metal Prep" then reprimer and paint. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Thanks, ordered one up. I'm sick of how loud my exhaust currently is, a no-name 4 tip thingy that's just about rusted out.
