Last fall I parked my car for the winter.
During the winter, I took an old 914 muffler (I had recieved with a parts car) and modified it.
The back side was rusted out so I cut it off, modified the baffles inside for better flow, welded a nice SS shell onto it and put a sexy SS oval tip and tail pipe on it.
This week I went to put it on my car with my new SS heat exchangers and voila, it dosen't fit...the exhaust is on the wrong side. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
In order to get it to fit, I would have to cut my rear valance out on the passenger side, and I'm not doing that.
Now I have to cut it all apart and try to flip it over. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Was this muffler possibly for a Van?

Sure looks like it to me. But I am not a van person so i could be wrong. Most likely, I am not though.

The VW 411 / 412 muffler was on the wrong side also, but fit to the HX no problem. So you started with a VW muffler, not a Porsche muffler.

When I bought the car, this is all I got. This and a bunch of old parts including a (now I know) bus muffler.

Yes I do but one is cracked and they aren't Hellas. I think they are cheap aftermarket fogs.

Take the valance OFF....it just hides the muffler and is a trap for dirt and keeps too much heat in....plus you have an S/S muffler....show it off. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
