QUOTE theres a glasspack on it now proper muffler will go a long way. the cars are loud... period... but a dual carb with a glasspack is VERY loud. OE muffler is probably the quietest. I had a monza (dual outlet type) on my old 1.7... it set off car alarms in every parking lot... |

I've got a 2.0L w/ dual Webers running a Bursch. Not quite as loud as Wayne's was, but you definitely know when I crank it up.

The stock muffler is really nice. It's quiet, so it's not for the noise-lovers. But for someone who's looking for something that works well and is much more tame sounding, the OE muffler can't be beat.
Triad is much more aggressive under power, but is still fairly quiet at idle/low rpm. Not as quiet as stock, but certainly less than a single glasspack. I ran a single glass pack on one of my recent motor fire ups, and the volume was completely identical to running it with open pipes. |

seems like i can keep my bursch down when i want to, while creeping.
keep the raintray on the engine lid, that'll help. i have actually added eggshell foam padding to the top of the lid to hopefully tamp down the bark from my 40's. not much help, but a little. do what you can, then cook them some bbq dinner- thefleur |

Its the Exact same muffler as the Bursch.. Bring the muffler and the car to meineke and have them cut off the glass pack and weld on the new oval muffler... Total cost for the muffler was $15.00 Rich |
