The Bursch 4->1 collector exhaust pipe set is a keeper. The glasspack/cherrybomb type muffler not so much. You'll want a decent muffler shop to weld together a new muffler solution to bolt to the Bursch, like a small Flowmaster or similar "muffler" to reduce the sound. That flange and 180 deg bend tubing on the glasspack may be something they can work with.
Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The Bursch system you have, with the three bolt flanged connection for the muffler, allowed you to change the muffler type: either a cherry-bomb style, quiet turbo style, or a straight through stinger pipe. I have this Bursch combination with the bolt on quiet turbo muffler. A lot of people don't like the Bursch systems, but a lot of people have used them. I used mine for years and found it to be acceptable. Most of the Bursch 914 systems you see are welded one piece systems with the quiet turbo muffler, which cost less than the bolted flanged systems.

Bursch used to sell these combinations. Their web site doesn't show them currently, but you could probably call them and ask if they could provide a bolt on turbo muffler for your collector if you find the cherry-bomb type muffler to be too loud.

As for he bolts and nuts just break the bolts with a socket and wrench. You're going to want new fasteners anyway. Make sure you order the correct he to muffler gaskets. The 1.7/1.8 differ from the 2.0.

No, he's saying "what?" because he can't hear rtowle over the muffler noise.

Just wait...
Sure, you can putt around town and keep it quiet, but when you wind up the motor doing some spirited driving, your housemate will know when you have made it to the grocery store, they will hear you move to the liquor store, and they will know when you are coming home....

It's that loud.
5 miles loud.

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....

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.
