i found this exhaust back in my garage. i've been doing some research and it seems to be a 67 sauer&sohn exhaust. they were one of the first beetle tuners in germany in the late 60's
i'm planning to clean it up and put it under my 66 doka since it is period correct and vintage tune up.
does anyone has experience with it? and someone more information.
i also found what's sound like on this link:

they was mostly a gun maker.

Is it correct that those Sauer&Sons are the same company? Would be nice to find out if someone has more informations regarding to this! |

if i had to bet,..i would lay money it was the same company
coors made ceramic goods besides beer.
Quote: A little online history lesson:
Coors ware was made by the Coors Porcelain Company of Golden, Colorado, a company founded with the help of the Coors Brewing Company. Its founder, John Herold, started the Herold China and Pottery Company in 1910. The company name was changed in 1920, when Herold left. Dishes were made from the turn of the century. Coors stopped making nonessential wares at the start of World War II. After the war, the pottery made ovenware, teapots, vases, and a general line of pottery, but no dinnerware—except for special orders. The company is still in business making industrial porcelain.

there's several stuff to read about that exhaust
the problem for you is: in german
following competition test by sport auto from 1976 says about the s&s:
beside the abarth the only tested sample with a actual gain of performance. the vw engine performance characteristic remains with a gain of power in the whole speed range. +3HP @4600upm
http://kaeferfriseure.de/upload/pdf/sa_02_74_volles_rohr_test_auspuffanlagen.pdf
there is the Allgemeine Betriebserlaubniss (ABE) to get it street legal in germany. doesn't say anything interesting but fyi ;)
