Anyone seen one of these before?



I saw it on eBay recently, the description is:
One new old stock Powell brand muffler assembly, part number 517B or factory number 211.251.053. This fits VW Type 2 Bus 05/1959 - 08/1960

Weird cross-hatch pattern.

I think the outlet pipe angle might be an issue unless you have the Powell tailpipe(s).

That belongs in the SPVC museum.

Never seen one in real life, here. Is it paint or made from bronze? If used on a vehicle the upholstery must be slick green vinyl diamond pleat tuck-n-roll.

I've got an NOS 2 tip 36hp Beetle muffler that looks just like that in my garage.

Isn't that tailpipe angle correct for bastard motors? The dates are right.

Here's some pics from this thread:

Ooooh, good point, I had forgotten about that.

A must have for Steampunk enthusiasts...
