hi all,
just a quick question,
ive recently purchased a yellow 1974 beetle and have started to do some mods on it.
i have bought rims an lowered it and installed a system
i was just wondering if you could instal a cannon exhaust onto an old style beetle and for how much?

plz leave any comments
cheers

Is this a Baja Bug ? Not sure a Cannon system will work on a standard Beetle.

no its not, its a stock beetle.
but ive seen a few beetles around where i live with them on it, they just stick out the side of the car behin the rear right tyre..
i was just wondering how much it would cost

where about do you live? im sire if you go down to the local performace exhaust shop they'd just make it 4 ya

i think it will be "around" $500-$800

loud and annoying your better off going with a merged header in to a fat boy exhaust

i think this is kinda a silly idea. leave the shiny cannons to the rice burners. get a tuck away or something.

i think

a)it will look stupid
b)it will sound like a barotone yelling into on of those plastic horns they sell u at sports events
c) it will have too little back pressure
d) every skyline and civic owner will give u shit

ahh the gong that explains it then

thats where its coming from!

serious, go for a tuck away system, or a monza 4 pipe kit.

barls - March 18th, 2005 at 05:38 PM

seriously listen to us on this one the tuck away is the way to go

ok thanks,
could u post a pic of a beetle with a tuck away system so i can see what it looks like?

barls - March 18th, 2005 at 06:45 PM

ok here are some custom versions of a tuck away

and this is a modified kombi engine with upright conversion and its setup

both of these differ from the standard tuck away by having the muffler sitting almost upright to give better access to the tapets

ill look into it

barls - March 18th, 2005 at 07:32 PM

not a prob im sorry i dont have one of the 2L in the car

Don't put a monza system on it for gods sake, they sound stupid and rob you of power.

If its a stoker like it sounds like it is just go with a ell made extractor kit and maybe the fatboy.
