Porsche 944 muffler.

I'm thinking about buying one to put on my 7, i hate the sound of my fiberglass packed muffler and it's rediculessly loud with just a straight pipe into it.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2421327273 That's the muffler i want. I'd saw the piping off and have a shop weld it on. What do you guys think?

It looks like about 2 1/4 to me. I'm not interested in that perticular one, there's quite a few on ebay. They seem pretty easy to come by, i'm just trying to get ideas on what to save up for as far as a muffler... this seems like my best bet.

twin 2 inch primary pipes from the extractors to just before the diff, a hi-flow muffler before and after the diff to a 3.5 inch dumper.

the longer the primary pipes the better : )

Why do you think it will be better? Will it be OK with the heat from a 7? Will it fit under the car?

I've got the $250 stainless steel muffler from mazdatrix on my 83 and it's great. I'm putting a pacesetter monza (I know they have a bad rep but I got it cheap) on the 85 for a test. If it fails I'll mount another mazdatrix muffler.

I know that it shouldn't matter and it will probably work just fine, but the 944 has it's muffler on the opposite sides of our cars. A common result of using "custom" mufflers is that after it is installed the muffler comes out at a slant from the back of the car. Sort of like the HKS Drager exhaust system. Being that the 944's muffler is on the opposite side than our 7's mufflers, it may be possible that it could slant to the left towards the inside of the bumper or correct itself and line up perfect. Just take this into consideration and make sure whoever does the welding and cutting does too. Draw out all the angles and stuff before you start cutting away.

It also looks too long to fit under a 7.

This one looks like a much better idea.

I don't understand why you would want to spend $150+ for a muffler that is not made for a 1st gen rotary.
Unless you know what materials it is constructed of and the overall dimensions you may as well flush your $ down the john.

There again maybe this is a joke and you're a post *****!
In that case LOL

Actually, i'm being completely serious, there's no reason why it wouldn't work... and it's better than spending $150+ for a fiberglass packed muffler that'll wear out in a matter of months. i've never seen a stock muffler for a car use anything but sound deflectors, no packing material to burn out. I would just place my stock muffler back on it the piping were larger diameter and if i still even had it. This porsche muffler is a very clean nice looking muffler and will definately sound better than my fiberglass packed muffler with the insides burnt out.
