Hey guys.
Just wondering in your personal opinions what would be better on my 1970 beetle.

4 into 1 extratory standered style system.
OR
2 Tip GT HOTDOG System(loud and deep)

I want something street legal lol.

cheers

the 4 in to 1 standard system

GT is not very nice..

thunderbird is good, with quietpack or hotdog (bit lounder)

Joel ·

4into1 headers are the only ones that will give any performance gains

others will add noise but nothing else

the hotdog mufflers sound like a long loud fart, I hate em.

x2 on that.
My vote is for a sidewinder although I'm kinda partial 😂
Also would be kinda big for a stock engine

colonel mustard ·

hot dogs are so much better than fatboys. I live em. 🙂

Sidewinder style with a nice turbo muffler is the go I reckon. Bit of noise when you give it some, otherwise quiet enough to cruise around in without annoying the crap out of yourself.

4 into one with custom cannon on the end, sounds good.

If You want the exhaust pipes to come out of the rear apron..

there are NOT many options...

I have seen a lot of one off... made exhausts that come out there...

I was using a normal VW muffler with custom pipes that came under the febreglass rear valance I have...

just plain exhaust pipe bent...

but seeing You have the cutouts...

You can use a normal VW muffler and have two straight out 40- 45mm pipes...

If You do this, there will be no back pressure in the muffler
but it will be noisy...

The only real option for a 4into1 that fit in the stock cutouts is this type below.
I am using one on my 72 and although I would prefer somthing less restrictive it sound quite mellow and tucks up under the rear apron quite well. Does the job just fine.

if its a stock motor stock exhaust works best
if you want a bit more noise, like Lee said add some flared tail pipes, most vw suppliers sell them

headers on a stock motor dont offer much of a gain and often need a mainjet increase to keep the engine happy aswell plus they dont preheat properly either which is no biggy depending on where u live

the system alien8 showed above is an ok alternative, good ground clearance and a small gain as its 4into1

just get a staino or ceramic coated version, the plain ones disintergrate in 3 months/2000kms whichever occurs first
