Got a Empi extractor Phatboy setup at the mo, noticeable increase in power and sounds great when you get up it but I havent even lowered the arse yet and backing out
of driveways is a muffler scraping affair so, bit the bullet and bought a
vintage speed system which a few people on here are running. cant wait to see how it sounds and goes

Im running a Scat ceramic coated merged headers with a phat boy muffler..Flows well but motors with decent compression will probably blow out the
packing in the muffler..lol. Plus their only really suitable if your beetle has the nose down and bum up stance as the over-hang is quite far back
from the wheels so its prone to scraping.CSP or Vintagespeed would outlast my system..but its 4 times the price..

Running a vintage speed on the beetle really starting to carbon up and sounding good. Tucks up nice and two pipes out the back look sweet. Got a empi
quiet pak on the split, but will change this down the track don't like the sound of it. Have had them before and better to buy a better muffler than
the quiet pak one

Vintage Speed is my preference, many different versions and performance levels. Good long life due to Og style design and probably the best for
ground clearance. I do like the sidewinder as Shayne has posted, but some of the cheaper brands fit like crap and they need the muffler removed for
tappet adjustments .

I have very similar to Shayne
Are you running heater boxes??
If yes - whatever you run get flanges put on
If running a sidwinder, the in-out mufflers are the way to go.
So much easier to get the muffler flat and high enough clearance for doing tappets.
If you use the straight through it is a pain trying to get to the front end
If i was doing another one I would look at a Vintage Speed
Futue te ipsum!!!

I can do the tappets on the beetle without removing the Muffler but on the ghia i have to remove it, could be the body work difference.

currently have not got heater channels on her as the originals are in really bad shape as is the stock exhaust possibly repairing the rust holes.
