hello everyone
looking for a little guidence before i take off my old exhaust. Bought this bursch one used and just want to ask a couple of questions before i get into wrenching. as per the photos it looks to me the bolts are part of the old exhaust and if that is so then presumably I need the bolts and nuts to put on the bursch??? Is there a recommended set of hardware that i need to purchase? Attached thumbnail(s) |

ok everyone
put the LOUD pipe on this past weekend. here are my thoughts. it does not sound as loud as i was led to believe. maybe i pysched myself out so much that by the time i turned the key i was a let down. I does have much more throaty/deep sound that i am looking for, however it is not that crisp sounding. also i can tell that the pitch after say and hour or two will be a bit hard on the ears. maybe that is what you all are referring to. but I am going to rock this one out fore a bit. like one of you said as long as i have the four into one collector i can always mod the muffler. unfortunately the end pipe (the part with the chrome that is after the muffler) does not line up with the valence that i have so i have to goto a muffler shop purchase the correct gauge metal tube, cut the end off and insert the spacer and then line it all up to correspond to the cut out that is on the valence. pain in the arse.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) it is always something isn't it.... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Here are two threads concerning Bursch Muffler mods. If you are going to pay the muffler shop to reposition the tail pipe you could probably replace the muffler for about the same installation cost plus the cost of the muffler you choose. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=magnaflow bursch&st=0 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=249563 |
