I have a '77 slant conversion with a '79 3.0L motor.

Looking for advice on exhaust "upgrades", since mine is patched, re-welded etc.
I would be ok with a sport cat, but not a straight pipe approach. I'm ok with more sound, but not crazy loud or with too much cruising drone.

Been looking at the Fabspeed set up.

If there is a thread for this in general, just point me there, or throw in your opinions here. Thanks guys

SSI with Dansk stock type muffler?

M&K is a quality item, might be too loud

For smog compliance. keeping things stock is best. Many aftermarket mufflers simply make more noise.

I prefer Dansk mufflers over ALL others for these cars.

If you are not concerned about smog tests, an SSI conversion with a Dansk Sport Muffler works VERY well.

^ I'll be concerned in two years. I have mixed feelings about undoing modifications. I know with a high flow cat it should pass (visual should not be a problem), does a cat eliminate the SSI's as a choice?

I have heard good things about the Dansk, it seems like a "go-to" choice for many owners.

I've always thought somebody should cut-up the many wrecked sports cars with dual free-flow cats and graft them onto older 911s...

SSIs bolt directly to the muffle so cats are out , unless you want to swap back and forth for inspections.

I actually deleted my cat completely with a bypass and it sounds great with a lower rumble actually, but not an option for you I realize.

r911

yes, a non-stock muffler and "some" fab work would be required

Found this -- post #5 Craig_D -- SSI's with cats

All custom but really nice and I bet it passes the sniff test.

That's the fun in these cars, the process of turning them into you own personal fun machine..
