About three weeks ago, I installed a brand-new Bursch exhaust on my 914. At that time, I decided that I was going to install it as I had received it, then remove it later to treat it with some good, quality very high temperature (VHT) paint.

Today, I pulled the exhaust off and this is what I found. The original paint had flaked everywhere. It was extremely easy to brush off the paint with a rag.

I took these pictures right after I removed the exhaust. After I took these pictures, I put a metal finishing pad in my detail sander and got almost all of the original paint off very easily. It is now sitting outside with a new coat of PJ1 Fast Black waiting to be reinstalled.

It's difficult to see in the pictures but the dark parts are paint, the shiny parts are bare metal.

Now you ask. I just put the effing thing back on. Well, it looks pretty much like the pictures above except everything is black and there is no flaking. Actually, it came out pretty nice. It is now a flat black versus the gloss black that was originally on the exhaust.

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that these give a slight performance increase over the stock setup. I happen to like the sound and the price. This Bursch replaces my old Bursch, so I guess that you could say I'm happy with it.

I think they use a special mix of pesudo black paint that lasts about 1 mile of driving. Kinda like that GM silver/blue paint that last about as long.

Its a $200 muffler, what do you expect? I stripped the paint off mine, and it was already rusty, straight from the factory!

Hey Paul....can you give me some measurements on the flanges? I am thinking that that muffler would match up with my type IV heat exchangers.....

How much did you have to pay for that Bursch?

Paul, I had the same problem with my new Bursch a few months ago and re-painted it with high heat paint. It lasted about a week. I think the only fix is to have it ceramic coated. However, it does sound great.

OK Mikey, just for you.

This is a standard size that bolts right up to the 2.0 heat exchangers (I'm not sure if there is a width difference with 1.7 & 1.8). The distance between the outside tips of the flanges is 29 ΒΌ inches. (742.95 millimeters)

Here is a pic that shows the points I measured from. In this picture, the exhaust is upside-down.
