Ok, I know that I am not telling anything new here, but the quality of Ben's work is just too good to not say it again. The welds on this stainless 914-6 sport/race muffler are so beautiful, I had to share. With a little wet sanding and polishing, I have a conversation piece for the coffee table, instead of something to hide under the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Thanks again Ben for your fantastic work! @mb911     |

Look at the quality thickness of the exhaust flanges and the reinforced exhaust tips. Both are failure points on most mufflers.

Looks awesome. My muffler wasn’t cheap to fab, but sounds great. $200 for the muffler $300 to fabricate

These mufflers I can sell for $400 plus shipping so excited about that. I have out sourced just this model to a local 2 man shop and they want the work.. I can't do it all so benefits everyone..

I’d love to hear the sound. I’m happy with my stock 914-6 muffler, but 12#! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
Now I’m intrigued... |

I shot some short video of it at idle. If I can figure out how to post it, I will.
I would love to collect some audio samples as it winds up through the gears (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sounds nice and screams... |

I like it. Is that for a /6 or a 4-cyl? Might look good on my track car.
