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 ? |

A little update to the thread. I worked with Ben to get my muffler and finally got it set. We worked on some fitment stuff for mine so I'm sure he'll take that info to help refine them.
my car: 1971 with a 1911. Stock 1.7 heat exchangers converted to headers, dual Webers. I'll try to make this clear, I understand that not everyone will read this, but yes I am going to get a good video with sound. It's a busy week so I'm not sure when, but it'll happen. And even though I said this I'm sure there's going to be someone who suggests the novel idea of getting a video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) My thoughts on it: overall it sounds great. At idle it still sounds like a type-4 of course. Not too loud, you can hear the drivetrain clacking away still and you don't have to worry about getting noise complaints from neighbors. Cruising with light throttle it sounds great, gives the 1911 some grunt. WOT is really great, very harmonious with the Weber velocity stacks. WOT to off-throttle there's a nice hum.
