I ran a stinger on my Buggy for a short while. Wonderful racket but I got tired of the tripping hazard pretty quickly. I hated leaving it in a public place for fear that I would come out and find an old person sprawled out behind it with a broken hip! It was hard enough in my shins trying to work around the car.

Stingers belong on the track where they originated in my opinion.

I had stinger on my Ghia about 35 years ago, I remember it being loud as f*ck. My mum claimed the dog would always begin sitting at the front door about 2 minutes before I would arrive home from work when I drove it. I ended up painting a stripe around the end of the stinger to make it more visible as the car was super low.

People do trip over stingers, but it’s such a cool vw only thing.
And dual canons are such a buggy thing, but supposed to hurt performance.

It's probably the most popular exhaust for buggies and Bajas.

Klutz

Atleast it doesn't block the valve covers.

Glen... I adjust my valve cold. Timing and carbs are adjusted hot and running! I challenge you or anyone else to do the job with that exhaust system without at least a pair welder's gloves with that exhaust system! There are hot pipes covering every conceivable access to the carb (center mounted) and distributor!

I just did a valve adjustment two days ago on a Buggy with dual cannons and yes it took some wiggling to get the covers off and yes access was hampered. The more I work on the modern modified stuff the more I appreciate how VW set them up in the beginning! Is the extra hassle worth the 3 or 4 HP increase? Not from a maintenance standpoint it ain't!
