Webers will make more intake noise than CIS, but that's not the sound you hear when a 911 drives by. I suggested SSI's because they offer the same benefits as the early heat exchangers and they are contructed better. If you can find some early heat exchangers that are in good shape (not rusty) then go ahead and use them. I'd bet that route will be harder than finding a good used set of SSI's. Note that the muffler is the main goal here and not all two-in single outlet mufflers will sound the same. If you want a lot of noise, a two-in, two-out muffler will give it to you...
Have fun,

Thanks for the help.. Im not looking for noise.. in fact I HATE the droning sound at freeway speeds some "sport" mufflers can make. I am about as far from a ricer as you can get when it comes to my sound tastes.. My 69t had a low end rumble that was not annoying as hell.. THAT is the sound I like..
Im glad I posted this as I think I was gonna go down the wrong road..
I need to take care of my thermal reactors before summer anyway... and I hear that early exchangers will buy me a few ponies in the process.. so it makes good sense all around..
I did some looking in the classifieds.. not a ton out there but patience will pay off..
Wonder what the difference in design in between my 2in 76 muffler and an early 2 in muffler like the one that was on my early car.. hmmm things that make you go hmmmmm
Maybe there is a loop inside the newer designs..
Im tempted to pick up an early muffler and just throw it on so I'll know.. would take about 15 minutes to install one I bet.
