Read the advert again, it says to suit bug bus ect,
Thats the problem with most of the cheap Empi China crap, its made to suit allsorts but doesnt actually fit any.
With a bug and a bus, one size does not fit all.

You get what you pay for, there is a reason its so cheap??
Cry once, buy a Vintagespeed one and never fit another again.

If you have a look in my thread I had to build a new engine rear support to accommodate the exhaust and the full flow oil pump etc.
The Lowlites are a challenge for a decent aftermarket exhaust.
Has someone fitted a Vintage Speed Exhaust to a (1600) lowlight?

So how much for a vintage speed one ? cheaper to get something altered ? yes i am finding the lowlight, especially a 72 nine seater deluxe crossover - late bay tail lights are a challenge with bits of both !

I got a stainless Genie turbo muffler fitted to me sidewinder and that cost $500 alone. I already had the headers on and the rear support bar in place.
Buy a Vintage Speed one is my advice.
Any pics Black 64?

Not in the car but this is the engine that bolted straight in even with heater boxes

Cool!

Thanks for pics Black64 👍

I still have the wife's 71 Dormobile to do the exhaust on so will save my pennies.
