So, I have been wanting to change up my exhaust/muffler for a bit now. I have a nice new bursch and it's decent, but I hate the chrome tip, and how far it sticks out, and I'm not keen on the quality of the actual muffler ect.

I'm looking to have a local shop weld on a new tip, (wider and a angled towards the drivers side) and possibly replace the muffler itself with a magnaflow or similar.

Here is what I'll be starting with.

Let's see pics of what you guys have done.

Chances are very good that any local shop may make something look or sound cool for your car, BUT it will it is very likely to HURT performance and efficiency.

The Type 4 engine is VERY exhaust dependant and responds seriously to exhaust system configuration changes- about 90% of the custom exhausts I have come into contact with have been absolutely incorrectly designed for the Type 4.

Make one call to Chris Foley and it'll be done.. Looks sound and performance that has been proven right here under my roof.

I agree with you Jake. Chris's stuff is the BEST.

But, I need heat, it's a street car, and I'm on a budget. So, what I'm hoping to achieve is same dynamics as the bursch system with better cosmetics.

I don't have a better picture right now. But I've got a Bursch style collector (actually an S&S 4-1 collector) with a Flowmaster muffler welded on. Muffler tip is larger diameter and angled toward the drivers side just like you are talking about.

Thanks Demick! That's pretty close to what I'm imagining.

that one needs a longer collector to be effective. i'd give up some on the primary extensions for a longer collector extension.

I would bring your existing system to the shop and have them weld on a three bolt flange.
Then you can weld another three bolt flange to any muffler you choose that will fit.
I have a bursch, and when its time, it will be cut and a flange will be added, it just gives you more flexability.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Stop it Gregor! Oy.

On a serious note. I snuck over to Alpha's and snapped a spy photo of what he's been working on. Troy and Britt were arguing over the implementation at this point:

I think this is an early CFR header, with a Super Trap, it sounds so good, I am going to go without heat...I love this exhaust.

I can just make out the bottom of the Phase 9 Silencer before the Supertrapp.
