My '73 2.0 sounds like a, well, Volkswagen. How do I go about making it sound better? It is a stock engine with FI intact. The existing muffler seems to have a couple small leaks. I would like to retain the heat as well as use the single outlet setup. The power train is coming out this spring so I can paint the engine compartment, so that's would be a good time to tackle the exhaust.
Any suggestions to make the car sound like a sports car would be appreciated.

Had a Bursch on my 72 and it had a great sound. Glass pack from what I remember but that was 25+ years ago. Not even sure it was street legal in Ca but cool just the same. It was reasonably priced as well.
