 |

Very happy with this setup! Thought I'd share incase anyone was wondering about fitment. This is in my 66 double cab. 1915 running Kads. I'm running a tow hitch from Jeremy here in Samba. Install was simple and straight forward. I'm running heater boxes and I did not have to lossen them like they reccomend in their videos. Clearence to the apron and tow hitch are great. Tailpipe does barely touch my bumper. That is not the fault of a vintage speed. I believe my bumper struts a bit lower than stock with the tow hitch setup. I'm sure I can adjust it enough or modify the mounting a bit easily enough. Sound from this exhaust is fairly low and beefy without being too loud in the cabin. I was really impressed with the shipping. I ordered it Monday morning and it arrived weds here in So. Cal. Crazy! Highly reccomend d this exhaust. Its beautiful!

Looking for some updates on this muffler. The reviews are all over the place.
Hows it holding up? |

I've run my VS exhaust on my '62 DC now for a few years without a problem. Don't have a hitch, so I cannot speak to any effect that could have. I am still very happy with it - I would say buy with confidence.
