original mufflers

After my post yesterday (see below) I had some interesting questions about original mufflers and my work restoring this one.  Why not just buy a new muffler?  Well, new mufflers from Dansk are not in good favor with the 356 and 912 crowd because of quality and fitment problems.  Original mufflers have also been dyno tested and they allow the engine to produce more power.

There is a good discussion of the OEM muffler on the 912 Registry site.  Click on the photo below for the string of posts.  The link takes  you to near the bottom of the discussion, so please scroll up to the top and read down through the info.
