Well it finally happened, going for a drive to the grandparents place & I asked my twins what car they wanted to go in, mums car (N15 pulsar Q) or dads car (72 beetle) & my son says "mummys car, dads car to noisy", so I need a more quiet exhaust. Ive currently got extractors with a hotdog style muffler & Im thinking of going for a hide-away muffler/extractor set. I need the ground clearance as well.
Any comments on this setup or thoughts for a quite set up would be appreciated.

Hotdogs are worse than useless, so I suggest that you keep the extractor set for efficiency and fit to it the quietest muffler that will fit in the space available.

i suggest going and seeing the old man to find out which exhaust guy he uses in town cause hes done a few for him now mate including mine and the blue bug the old man sold, he knows his stuff and can do a setup similar to the blue one for ground clearance

here is the blue one mate
and here is my old t4 system which was also on the 1600 i ran before that
it ran parallel to the guard for ground clearance had a nice note. it was an inch and 7/8 system.

asked them for sumthin quiet.
it's a genie "super turbo"-quiet as.

Supertraps? Don't know about legalities but they do work. Plus for fun times you can remove some of the baffle plates.:P

We just put an empi "quiet" sports exhaust system on my bug. That combined with the motor that has just been put it, it sounds like a whole different car now...soo much quieter!
