Hi - I just bought a new [to me] 73 2.0 as I missed having a 4 - still keeping my six. I had sold my 73 1.7 about a year ago... Anyways, I'll post some pictures of the new car shortly.

It currently has a Bursch exhaust but with some aftermarket muffler attached. It's not too bad, but I really like the look/sound of the factory 2.0 muffler. I can't beleive how much these are now?!?! A steel *muffler* should really not be this much ($473)...

Anyways, at this price (or a little more) wasn't there also an aluminum option from a vendor in Germany? Any contact info?

-Steve

I believe Mittelmotor had a stainless steel version at one point in time ...

Hmmm... Kind of funky looking - too big of tip IMO...

Sweet deal for sure. The last time I looked for one, I found an original OEM for like Nine Hundred bucks. needless to say I'm still running on the old one. I might have to replace it soon however and this will be of great help.

Thanks all!

That looks like the muffler I bought from you. I wish Dansk offered that here or someone made something similar. Mine's starting to get pin holes, but I love the sound of it.

I looked on the Dansk website and they have it listed for $579. It also says it is for 1.7 & 1.8L engines. There is also another twin tip exhaust where they come out more towards the ends like the Triad. Also 1.7 & 1.8L only. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) 2.0L just has the stock looking exhaust. I don't get it, why wouldn't they make the cool looking exhausts for the 2.0L as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Anybody ever dealt with Mittelmotor? I'm in Germany, so those mufflers seem like decent deals.

I ordered the stainless muffler from them about 6 years ago. Back then, their website was all in German and I don't speak German. Sent them a email, they asked for a credit card #. Three weeks later my muffler arrived. I like it a lot. Good sound, not too loud, and i believe it will last forever.

I also ordered the SS muffler from Mittelmotor. I confirmed prices via e-mail and sent credit card info. The muffler arrived in a few weeks. No problems. I agree with Robby, the muffler is a nice piece and should last a long time. Too bad they are NLA as indicated by Johannes.

A friend has that style sport muffler from Dansk on his '73 911S and it is LOUD once you're above mid-revs; sounds fantastic but if dB level is a concern . . .

Don't know what it would be like on a 4

I love the look of the twin center pipe one; too bad it looks like they only have them for 1.7 and 1.8

That's the one I mentioned in my post above. It looks like they have that and the Carrera style exhaust available to order here in the U.S. but only for the 1.7 & 1.8. It seems odd that they would make two sporty exhausts and not include the highest displacement engine.

I have a stock 2.0 muffler I don't plan on using. I will need to inspect it closer but am pretty sure it is in good to great shape. Let me know if you are interested in it.
