Triad. Much better than the Bursch and sounds great without being too loud. It's loud but more of a bassy loud.

I second the triad, I just finished a backdate on my 75 and the workmanship on the muffler is great and the sound is perfect.

I had this on mine http://www.automotion.com/productpage.aspx...&pid=105605 Sebring extractor. It is a performance exhaust and I don't know how it sounds compared to a Bursch but I liked it.

Triad is very nice. Just borders the loudness tollerance for me. Can notice the little extra kick it gives too. You won't regret getting one.

has anyone put a different muffler itself in place of the glass pack on the bursch? Something like a flowmaster or magnaflow? If one was too loud what muffler in particular was it? Some are much more quieter in those product lines than others.

I was able to go to my FLAPS and get a flowmaster (IIRC) that was approximately the same size as the muffler in the "street Bursch" after mine blew out. I have no idea on the model but it was maybe $25-30 and had a lifetime guarantee.

I got a Bursh "quiet" (haha) muffler welded on to a matching flange. Now I have a Triad and it is really "tuned" to a real baritone sound. That said, the best overall "sound improver" was the Mallory distributor, which REALLY smoothed out the whole system. Valves incorrectly set can make a lot of noise too (extra intake, exhaust, and mechanical sounds). I guess the Mallory is currently NLA, but I think the differences was at least partly just eliminating the plug firing slop from the old Bosch .050 I had for the previous 150000 miles.
Say, I'll let you have my Bursch and attached extractor REAL cheap. Its only about 20k miles old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I cut off my exploded Bursch and put a Flowmaster three chamber on there. You would get more intake noise than exhaust noise. I might run a 2 chamber if I was to do it again. But I think the Dynomax is a better muffler.
