I have a low RPM popping sound, have not got the car on a lift to check it out. It is a 1976 2.0 and has an ancient Bursch exhaust. While driving at speed sound goes away. I think it is the right side heat exchanger but not sure.
Now, if I wanted to just get all new heat exchangers and exhaust....will the engine have to be dropped for the work? Also, what would be the best all in one package for new heat exchangers and exhaust. I do not care about OEM or HP as not much to gain but need something that lasts. I saw one of the members was making some custom exhausts. Looks like under a last gen 914 the bumper valence needs to come off to fit. Right now just hope the right side heat extractor is not bad, or a head bolt to the exhaust. If I can get any suggestions for an easy fix, would be appreciated. Also, if worse come to worse, any suggestions for an all in one exhaust package would be appreciated. |

Does your car still have the model year correct, 75/76', exhaust system?

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Sep 5 2017, 03:25 AM)  Does your car still have the model year correct, 75/76', exhaust system? Just found out on the forum last night the engine is from a 1973 2.0. I have a Bursch exhaust on it that is pretty much worn out. Are there any differences from a 1973 2.0 exhaust compared to a 1976 exhaust? Are they interchangeable? Not sure if someone put a 76 exhaust on the 73 block that is in the car. Planning on taking it to a muffler shop to get it on a lift and check out where the right leak is coming from. Again, thanks all guys. |
