And if you use the long valence for a four cylinder on a six, you can use a 911 muffler instead of a 914-6 muffler.

Why didn't VW and Porsche just use one valence for both the four and the six and use a 911 muffler they already had on the shelf? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) It would have been way more cost effective.

I agree, there were a lot of parts that could have been shared between 911 and 914, and between 914/4 and /6. It would have saved lot of cost all around.
