I looked at this thread and started to accept that we are a dying breed. BUT, I just got my Hot VWs and their are 2 cars with dual quiet-packs. 2 more than I probably saw all of last year... Good way to start the year. They just look right, imo... _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.

Been searching for an exhaust that fit my AJ Sims merged header nicely for quite a while now. Went with a Bugpack unit. Needed some tweeking/ welding/ massaging to fit nice and tight, but it's all worth it.
Still needs some touch up paint. |

Needs some long flared tips to complete the bitchin look you got going there. IMO _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.

After the HotVws with the bitchin yellow bug and the fourtuned merge ive had a few more people than usuall inquire about where to buy one. The last one I bought from S&S but I heard they are closed down. Any other old school co's still make them???? _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.

The tip on the right is level and the one on the left is slightly pointing up. If it is too much i would return them. If its slightly off I dont think anyone notices those small differences except for the owner. But I keep telling myself oneday im going to re-weld the tip to match the one on the left. I bought some ceramic Kymco merged duals awhile back and they were perfect and I painted the muffs black for the Old-school effect. They looked awesome!!! _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.

The more I look the more I like...I really like how nicely tucked under the muffs are. Good job working them.. like, like, like _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.

S&S Right there^^^ They are badass!!! I was always partial to Thunderbirds as a youngster mainly because of the long flare tips. I just stared at them for so long that i got fucked-up in the head... _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.

My duals had an S&S emblem welded near the flange....like a triangle or some shit similar to what Glenn posted. The tips were also larger, they were badass.
Eventually took them off and got a piece of shit hide-away muffler, then moved on to a bugpack stinger...those were stupid loud because they were really thin. _________________ Alloys are so fucken played out...... |

Mine did to but, that area kept breaking and the triangle got damaged in the process of all the re-welds...I did save it but I have to go dig for it someday for the sake of authenticity... _________________ Frank Ochoa said; "I still have my convertible bug from high school.
