Hi folks – hope everybody had a decent weekend. I have a set of very end very nicely made headers that I ordered for Marty for my big Type4 build. I didn’t realize in this is completely my responsibility end that they would come with a center exhaust collector because I had planned to use them with a 911 muffler. So I either need a different before design or to make some sort of connectors.
Has anyone been down this path that could weigh in on suggestions and any clever ideas that they’ve used or seen? Again I want to stress that these are very nicely made and I’ve had nothing but a good experience with Marty on other things I’ve ordered with him. I didn’t sweat the details and what I received is in no way shape or form less than an excellent product. Thanks! |

This probably won’t help any but I’ve got the same sort of situation planned for a 2.1L hour ngoni that I have. The muffler, I believe is early Tangerine 911, think this is how it was advertised .. purchased used obviously. The muffler apparently attaches directly to the two bolts at the back of the 901 transmission (though I have no idea if this is going to work w/ a 914).

The muffler apparently attaches directly to the two bolts at the back of the 901 transmission (though I have no idea if this is going to work w/ a 914). With the muffler bolted directly to the tranny case, I expect thermal expansion is going to stress your muffler mounting flange ultimately causing fatigue cracks & failure. If you can arrange a flex adapter you can then get the muffler to line up & have the necessary flexibility to overcome differential expansion between engine/tranny cases & exhaust header. That's why the standard muffler hanger is long & flexy fore & aft. |
