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 started out with noble intentions, my wife has several employees that do audio and video and they have a pretty relaxed work environment typically, so I told Ben that I would get some good video of my muffler once it was mounted up, to give you guys a sound clip. Well, they got hammered with a bunch of projects so I didn't feel right asking them to do it, so you're stuck with what I can record.
I know I say it in the vid, but my car is a 1911 with factory heat exchangers (stripped to bare headers) running dual Weber 40's. Please don't count my "um's" and "ah's", haha, I'm not one to make video blogs. As I mentioned, sounds great on the street, neighbors all still talk to me. Intake noise from the Webers overpowers the exhaust at WOT, but the exhaust sound picks up where the Webers fail at idle and cruising. Really a good harmony. I am going to try and get some exterior take-off and drive-by shots this afternoon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cOG16WVVb0 |
