Has anyone seen the 25/36hp mufflers that these guys are planning to make?

Thanks

I'm going to buy one to check it out. I asked them if they were going to do a 36hp sized muffler system last year before Bonneville but they said they had no plans at that time. With all the interest in vintage engines it looks like they are tooling up to do one. This is a bolt on muffler much like the original style, it uses the stock J tubes/heater box set up. Now if they would just make some stainless J tubes to go with it..........

stephan from belgium is was his name right? (all i know is that he is a old man who build them)...because i have one it had 3 leakes. after 1 year the endpipes starting break out and i had to reweld them and put also a holder on them. and as i opened the side to put a oxigensensor in it i could see inside and this thing is nothing special. just a big pipe.
i still use it but i will build a own one next. but go 4-1 typ1 changed with my csp muffler its better for my setup

Hello-

Regarding the Vintage Speed muffler, it looks like they put the wide band sensor in the wrong spot. It should be on the top half of the muffler, not the bottom.

OT Alert! I've read really good things about the 356 C/SC muffler. Does anyone have the skills to reverse engineer one? I've seen a muffler where the owner took an old 356 muffler, cut of the ends, removed the insides, and installed equal length primaries. It sounded nice, but I have no idea how well it works. Does anyone here have the skills to design a muffler that operates like a 356C muffler, but fits a VW?

Cheers,

Paul

Here's a link to someone who built a stock style exhaust for a 912.
