I've been trying to get the Flowmaster "Camaro muffler" that Brad mentioned awhile back to fit on my six (it's twice the flow, half the price and half the weight of an early 911 style Dansk), and it ain't, so far. The picture of the rig that was posted early in the year won't work for conventional 'six headers. The dual in, dual out FlowMaster case is 18" long, my headers are 23" apart, not enough to get decent 90's into the muffler. Am trying to work out a 270 pipe kinda like some of the Bursch (Borla?) plumbing, but not there yet.

I'd like to hear from anyone who's managed to get it done too!

I have a 40 series on my car... Ok it's on the GTI and not the Porsche, but you really weren't specific. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I was looking at a Bursch (sp?) exhaust sitting on my garage. It has a few simple bends and one bracket connecting the outlet to one of the inlet tubes.

The Fabricator that built the GTI's exhaust could easily make a duplicate to the one in my garage using any muffler brand you like. I've been thinking about building a few.

chris, local call Austins Pro Max in tacoma for the muffler. if you are not using your stock hanger, you can prob fab one up out of steel stock thats uses the stock bolts on the rear of the trans. this is what dave ellison has done for his header system.

The Flowmaster I'm wrestling with is the 80 series 42582, dual in / dual out. It's popular among the 911 track weenies in my "neighborhood".

Tim, the 42585 looks interesting, but I'm afraid the tranny would be in the way of the inlet plumbing. Do you have this one on your car? Any pix possible?

Dave, the 40 series is a single inlet design, can't use in my application.

BTW, the Bursch plumbing I was referring to (the 270 degree loops) is actually on their Steelpak for the US heater'ed 356, not a 914. My bad.

Brad's info on the flowmaster fab

Brad:
This is what it looks like for a B+B header flange.

FYI: I had nothing to do with the pic below. I know of several companies that sell this setup for big money and slap a plate over the Flowmaster name.

Yep, those are the pics that got me going, looks real easy to duplicate if you have a welder, some flanges, and a couple of J bends.

That rig must be for a /4 though, my headers are much closer together, thus my mention of the curly cue approach.

My bad for assuming the 4 vs 6 header spacing was the same.

How hard would it be to make your own superflow out of all stainless?

Anyone have a pic on how its baffled internally?

I have the use of a TIG welder and you can get stainless tubes and bends at an industrial electrical supply store. At least you can here from Westburne-Ruddy Electric Inc.
