Exhaust ? 1972 911 & 89 3.2 Engine
I'm having a problem fitting an exhaust / muffler and looking for some advise. I have a 1972 911T converted to an RS look, including the fiberglass rear bumper. I've installed a 1989 3.2 engine but the OEM muffler that came with the engine touches the bumper.
Has anyone run into this problem or have some suggestions? Thanks, Ben |

Pics would help, but I would say you need to cut the bumper

If you are using the stock 3.2 muffler it won't fit as the outlet pipe on early cars is at a different position. You will probably need to move the outlet pipe to save cutting the bumper. Or fit SSI system and dual in/single out for 73 (or older) model year muffler.

Could you recommend a specific manufacture or dealer that stocks that type of SSI System and muffler.
Really appreciate your help. If I can't find a pre-manufactured system I'll be forced to fabracate an inlet and exhaust tip for say a fabspeed muffler. Thanks Again, Ben |

If you are going to the SSI heat exchangers then there are a variety of muffler makers. Call Pelican and ask them what they supply.
With a stock 3.2 single-in single-out muffler just go to perfomance exhaust shop and get them to make up the tip to attach to what you have now.
