Mine was converted in less than a week. Small bore 6 with carbs is fairly straight forward.
Tough to replicate the sound of a carbed small bore six. Its a 1970's Le Mans sound track that I never get tired of listening to. I agree its not the muffler. I run a stock 911 muffler and the car just sings! |

Brant, mine was built to rev to 8,000 but I set my rev limiter at 7,000. Honest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I like skinny...I've done wide.
It's so much much fun putting the hammer down on a stock looking 914 and seeing/hearing about the "oh fuck, what the hell was THAT" comments..... I had a V8 and now a 3.2 skinny and they rock.... Attached image(s)

Engine tweak$ can add up quick too. Flame ring conversion (Aasco) for hi-boost engine.
The OE (non head gasket) 3.3 set up won't live long without this mod. Attached image(s)
