    2 in 1 out muffler questions

    all;
    solid muffler purchased about 10 years ago.
    1) shouldn't there be a part number & manufacturer ID somewhere on this ? I can't find anything.
    2) does the angle of the output indicate 911 or 914/6 ?

    all help appreciated.
    TIA

    Hey, Jerry . . .

    Dunno what is, but --- from the downward angle of that ausspuff . . . it sure doesn't look like an Early 911

    One of the things that bugs me about a lotta otherwise-nicely-done cars is how few of them actually have their tail pipe popping-out in the right place. I know-I know --- Real Deal mufflers are hard to source/notta Big Deal/get-a-life/etc-etc . . . fine-fine/I get it

    Still. How tough is it to go to a Muffler/Exhaust/Fab Guy, have him saw off the tail pipe . . . then re-attach it at the right angle? I mean, people drop mortgage-size payments on all manner of out-of-sight nonsense to get 'that vintage feel' . . . and yet will still stick an directally disfunctional muffler right out there --- in my eye!

    . . . zat a Porsche?

    I don't know if these pictures will help but they are of the original muffler (still serviceable) that was on my 69S when it was delivered new in March 1969.Name:  IMG_1676.jpg

    The difference in the two mufflers was the angle and length of the two input pipes, i think the 914 one sat higher,,,,but not 100 % sure.
