I have been looking for a new product for a while. I currently manufacture 13 parts for the 914-6 market and wanted to do something for the 4cyl market. I have waffled for a couple of years on 4cyl mufflers and think I am ready to commit to making some. Would even offer a group buy . what I am thinking of offering is a 2in 1 out similar to a 914-6 muffler. They would be 6" diameter, 2.5" tail pipe and I would start by making the most popular set up voted by all of you. So if you were in the market for a quality stainless muffler would it be for a 2.0 or a 1.7/1.8?
I also should note I am not looking to compete with anyone here so would only offer it with standard tail pipe location. There also would need to be someone commited to testing one of them as well as I don't have a 4cyl car. And dad's car won't be drivable for years. Attched are some pictures of my 2 in 1outs we made for the 6 cyl cars. So what say all ? |

I would think that the demand wold be for the 2.0L type. Be ware that the 1.7 had two variations, one for the early snow plow deep valance and one for the 1.7 shallow valance.
The difference is the exit position of the tail pipe on the left side. I have an original 1.7L early which you can have for the shipping cost. The 1974 1.8 muffler had larger pipes like the 2.0L but with the 1.7-1.8L flange pattern. What would be helpful is to get one installed and make a sound clip of it as many owners are concerned with the sound. Some want loud ( not me ) and some want a powerful deep tone. Anyone see a problem with using a larger pipe more free flowing unit on a stock 1.7L Wil reducing the back pressure have any negative affects ? What is the target price? Bruce |

Bruce Yes we need to test these for sure. I will need a couple of folks to step up and we can work something out to make it work out.. Price point not sure yet.. My group buy for the 914-6 muffler was in the round about price range of 650.. We will see though as I had 10 to make that work. The 914-6 rally mufflers I make at 1k but that is a very special muffler and again now approach what Chris is doing and that is not my intention.. We. Have to small of community to compete against eachother. |
