However, do look for an announcement for a GB we will do with Ben. We have been a supporter of his for quite some time, just need to work out a few things.

Now i need a 2,0 muffler option.
Interested to see what happens here.

All I know is baywindow bus guys have bought them and then sell them as they are loud. Gets old driving with a loud exhaust as well I know with my old Bursch. I am saving up for one of Ben's quiet SS exhausts.

I have both side and rear exit 2.0 stainless steel mufflers in stock and they are handmade in the USA by Ben’s/MB911 production shop. $550

1.7/1.8 coming soon - couple weeks.
914-6 - sold out but I’ll get more made if people want.

I remember reading on Marv's 3.6 thread that he said Ben's quiet muffler was one of the best upgrades he's made to his car and that's a guy who's running a built 993 engine and 915 trans. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Mikey914, Ben already has a better product built and supported in the US. You need this to get unfizzled. My 2 cents. Best, Mark

Ben has a great product.. heavy gauge stainless, and thick flanges that stay straight. Also, the baffles won't rattle loose, and fail.
Very impressed with everything that he has worked with me on over the years.
While others that built a reputation for having great stuff have made things from thinner materials, and cut corners, Ben has continued to keep things robust. I have fried his systems on the dyno, and seen EGT over 1400 degrees, without any flange warpage.

I think Mark and I 914rubber and 914-6werkshop.com are going to figure something out to benefit us all. Fingers crossed

I have seen many of these in the VW world - good product with a nice sound. Is there one available for the 1.7?

So when I started this thread I intended to import thees directly and sell them. I may still do that as an option for those that want that specific part. But to support Ben's efforts also.

I have sense made a deal with Ben to stock and distribute his product. We will be bringing the 2.0 in 1st, and he's working on the 1.7 now.

I’ll post this here as opposed to PM since all the experts are hanging around. I created a thread on Dansk Vs. Bursch for a replacement for my FI 1.7. Had the Bursch. Loved its tone and how it was raspy during shifts even though it was a little loud. Couldn’t get a replacement Bursch, bought a Dansk. Hate it. Too quite, too tinny, exhaust pipe goes in the wrong place and doesn’t work with an early valance so if I’m going to replace The valance anyways...

I here Ben makes nice things, is local (I’m in Chicago burbs), has an aviation background (so do I). The VS 1.7 dual tip looks awesome as well. I want something that sounds “sportscar” closer to the Bursch spectrum than Dansk.

Bursch and triad haters seem to love Ben’s product and always remark about its quietness and outstanding build quality, which is why I ask the question: If you want little pops and crackles when you let off the throttle and some loud which product do you go with, VS or Ben’s?

Just to clarify I make a sport muffler as well as a quiet muffler. Also note that 914 rubber now carries my mufflers as well.
