I just picked up a 1970 914-4 (my first) I trying to gather some general stuff to start the rebuild. I am looking for some sound options, and examples. I can weld and fabricate so I was thinking of making my own (i have done it before for other cars) but I am having some trouble finding some good references to what muffler or configuration would work best for these 914's.

It came with dual Webbers already on it, and what is on it seems louder then i would have expected but im looking for the old air cooled throtie sound...if that makes any sense. Obviously the 6's sound great but what options are out there for the 4's?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.

Also looking for shock/suspension options (looking to upgrade to coil overs to lower and firm up the stance, also looking for good front and back fiber glass bumpers as well.

He is talking about something like this. Webers create loud sonic pulses. The only way to make them quieter is to encase the top part of the weber in some kind of intake plenum that provides more divergent angles. That is why the FI engines are way more quieter. the intake runners are longer and have more angles to divert sonic pulses. Weber carbs are very open and the top filter elements usually enhance the pulse instead of quiet the pulse.
