On my way to work today I was wondering why my engine was making crazy noises.
I started to think that my recently rebuild engine now was falling apart because if the carb problem. On my way home I started thinking. That sounds like I have strait pipes on the car plus some rattling. Sure enough the muffler is broken.

What alternatives are there to the bursch? Also money wise? Pelican sells the bursch for the '74 2.0 for 255 any other place cheaper? Thanks for any advise.   |

Welding would be a temporary fix. I don't have a welder and paying somebody in a muffler shop in CA isn't cheap ether. So I'm wondering, because this muffler is pretty rusty and will keep making problems, if I should save the money and invest into a new one. What other mufflers are out there except Bursch and the Stainless steel ones from Chris? I kinda hate to see my twin pipes, that look like the 911 sport mufflers, go... |

My car has the Triad exhaust with SS heat exchangers. A little loud for some, but you do get the twin pipes that don't stick way out there. |
