Keep your eyes out for a used muffler on here or CraigsList.

I bought a stock muffler off of Ebay for about $75. Its in good shape and is quiet.

The only catch for me was it took the guy 6 weeks to get it to me. Turns out he was using on his car waiting for a new system to be delivered. He took it off to photograph it then put it right back on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Everyone is down on the Bursch quiet, as shown in the photos above, but I used one for years and didn't think it was bad. Not too loud. Years earlier I had tried a new Monza and couldn't take it. Too damn loud! But I was younger then, and those four Italian style pipes were just too cool to resist. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


I heard a Bursch and it wasn't bad at all. The Triad I sold sounded nice from the outside but was too loud for my taste in the inside. I now have an OEM banana waiting to be installed. I am sure I will love it.

I tihnk with a large enough muffler welded on, a bursch can sound nice, otherwise that and the monza sound like a VW bug.

I had purchased an OEM Leistritz muffler when I had my for, and honestly, it was the best sound/volume I had heard on a 4 cylinder with stock pipes..

There are at least two different Bursch models. The picture that Jim posted is called "street", I believe. The one I have looks the same, but it has a glass pack instead of a conventional muffler. I think it is called "performance" or "performance street". It sounds pretty good on my 1.8 (with backdated 2.0 exhaust), but it is louder than I would like. It also repels paint for some reason. They are notorious for this.

I believe that Triad makes a quiet version, if I recall correctly.

+1 for the quiet Bursch. Light, nice low tone w/o resonation, slightly improves acceleration, available used for $50-100. All around good.

I too replaced a Monza that came on the car when I bought it. I purchased an OEM Leistritz muffler from the Samba, for $400.

I am much happier with the sound, and the look of the OEM.

I had a dual outlet Triad on the 'BB'. It looked nice and sounded really cool, but after a year or so, decided it was too loud for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

TC seems to be happy with it now ... guess his hearing is shot worse than mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Found a good deal on a stock banana ... I found it to be quieter and more responsive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But just like Phil Robertson, everybody's entitled to their own personal opinions

When I bought my 2.0, it had a 4 tips that I replaced with a Bursch. It didn't last (it was already old) and got very loud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

So when I built my Djet 2056, I got a used Dansk (Craigslist $160) and refresh it using "Factory Manifold Gray" paint by the same company that does Por-15 and I'm very happy with the result. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Also, with the Dansk, you get a stainless steel tip. I really like this option because it's original, fits the valence, and it's quieter (as much as an air cooled can be). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

and here is another muffler that would be a good basis to fab up something quieter.

Looks like it has a glass pack on it now. I bet that is not quite!

Ditto on Jim's picture.
That way you can go to the muffler shop and pick what you'd like. That's whats on the 1.7 on my Rustoration car.

I like that one too. In fact, if any of you guys more info on who manufactured that style, I'd like to know. I'd be interested in purchasing one.

Jaime, I wish I had that muffler. I sold it a while back before I sold my 4 cylinder.

That last muffler you guys posted appears to be a Sebring muffler that someone welded a Cherry Bomb glasspack on.

I believe Pelican sells them, and they're pretty cheap.

Here's an idea guys, I think it was brought up a long time ago on a 911 forum, but would people be interested in creating a muffler exchange? Where a few people own the different types of mufflers, and people who want to try out a muffler on their car simply borrows it or rents it, so they can see if it's something they want to purchase.

Might be a pain to run, but maybe if you sent a paypal payment for collateral, and when they recieved the muffler back, you refund their paypal.. Because if you guys are anything like me, deciding on a muffler/exhaust combo on my car was really quite difficult.
