Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Bursch muffler systems come with a space between the pipes that come from the headers and the muffler itself. This space is reserved for a catalytic converter or bypass pipe.

What year is your car? What does the rear valence look like? There are three different valences.

Show us the muffler. This will help ID the problem.

Sagging springs are a characteristic of old age. You didn't mention if you thought the shocks were bad.

Once I got the coil off of the shock I could press down on the shock with little resistence.

Taking a pic of the muffler now.

When I encounter a fastener or bolt that won't budge, after I've sprayed it with a penetrant, I try to tighten it about an 1/8 of a turn to break the threads loose before turning to remove it. That has always worked on the 914 and my old motorcycles. Also, when it comes to refastening bolts or my 914 wheel studs, I always put a tiny bit of anti-seize grease on the threads to facilitate removal at some later time.

looks like a 1.7 muffler on 2.0 liter HE's

The 1.7 HE's have a bend that moves the muffler up higher..thus the drop in the tailpipe.

the 2.0 liter has straight HE's

Looks like the wrong part to me.

The Car does have Stainless Heat Exchangers So maybe there not right for this car because when the muffler was bolted on it sat up way higher then the stock one. Almost touching the heat shield.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned this yet....

loosen your lugnuts BEFORE you lift the car off the ground. something about the car putting force perpendicular to the plane you're working in makes them SUPER easy to loosen compared to doing it after the car is off the tires.

Posted above is a picture taken of the end of the heat exchanger. Is it a 2.0 or 1.7 ?

That's a 1.7L exhaust. Besides the curve, the flange is a different size, so a 2.0L Bursch won't bolt up to a 1.7L exhaust at all.

Those are the right HE's , they are 1.7/1.8.

Show a pic of the tranny bracket for the back muffler, a pic of the muffler out of the car and a pic of the tranny mounting in the rear (how the tranny is mounted to the car)...sumpin aint right.

I have the same setup and its 1/4 inch from the valence hole, nice and tight.
post Three pics.

Heres the latest update. Lug bolt is off ! As soon as I bought an impact socket it took it right off. I installed the new Bilstein shocks with 100lb weltmeister springs.

As for the exhaust I put it on anyway b/c atomotion wasnt going to take it back b/c I bought it 3 months ago and was saving it for when it got warmer to work on it. Im going to look for a different (original) rear valance next week in Hershey.

Next project Master Cylinder !!!
