I took my wife for her first ride in my Teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) She was not happy with the noise volume. What are my options when it comes to quieter mufflers? I’m not sure what I currently have but I’ve been told that it is not stock. I also know I have an exhaust leak.
 My Teener = 1975 1.8 -arron |

QUOTE(Racer Chris @ Jul 26 2006, 04:56 AM)  A very heavy muffler The Monza I had, similar to the ANSA, was also pretty heavy. Another heavy but nice muffler is the Mittlemotor stainless steel muffler. The Bursch is a lightweight in comparison. |

Really good used condition - that means the leaks won't become obvious until a few months after you install it on your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The ANSA 4 tip muffler (or the copy) were not only noisey, but also cost you horsdpower over the stock factory muffler. The large 2.0 liter stock muffler may not look as cool to some, but it's an extremely efficient design. Stick with the stock muffler if you can, quiet and efficient.

I’m going to buy some ramps this weekend and get under the car. I’ll take pictures of the heat exchangers, current muffler, and other stuff. This will give me a better idea what I’m dealing with.
Is there any one local, (Los Angeles, ca) who has a stock 1975 muffler for sale? Arron |

I was thinking of going with a 2 way magnaflow muffler and custom piping. Thought that might be really quiet and not very restrictive.
This one does a crossover in the middle. I figure that would cause some sort of noise canceling effect HAHA I guess But lucky for me I have one of the best muffler shops a few miles away. (IMG:http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/parts/12568.jpg) |

QUOTE(RoadGlue @ Jul 24 2006, 10:42 AM) QUOTE(So.Cal.914 @ Jul 24 2006, 10:36 AM) Your current muffler with the up swept tips looks like an Anza to me, I have the same on mine. Yes it is loud but motorcycles run loud pipes for saftey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) and I like the tone. It's my understanding that Monza copied the look of Anza mufflers. Ansa is the real deal, and you'll find them on some of the more interesting Italian and other European cars. However, I don't think Ansa ever made an exhaust system for Porsche/VW. Well maybe monza put anza stickers on my exaust and put it in a Anza box and sold it to me. Than again maybe not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Yes they are very heavy. Mine is wrapped in aluminum, I've had no problem with rust. Out of all the exausts that have been on my 914 the anza has performed the best, each tube is equal. |

Arron I think the 75-76 mufflers, primary and secondary, are NLA, at least according to most of the mail order sources. The systems for these cars had one pipe from each heat exchanger connect to the primary muffler on the passenger side, then a single pipe (or catalytic converter for the CA cars), then the secondary muffler. Entirely different from the earlier cars with their 911 style single banana mufflers. I suspect all you will find for the 75-76 heatexchangers will be the 75-76 Bursch system. |
