Baja bug exhaust

[75baja714]

Have a 75 with a 1835 in it. Looking for a exhaust system with heat riser flange in the appropriate positions. Anyone know where to look. Is this something everyone fabs there self. Thanks In advanced. Single Idf 40

If you want one that works properly you will most likely have to do some fab work.

Yeah Fabd some up already. Didn’t quite do all my homework before I did. Just welded some old heat riser flange right where the exhaust flange meets the engine. Now I’m reading a bit more. I see there’s some technical aspects. looks like back to the table it is. I wonder why they even make the exhaust with the flanges where they are on the ones I’ve seen online.

2 reasons come to mind, maybe 3. First off is cost, it costs more to make them right and it's a competitive market. Secondly most performance minded guys go dual carbs and don't need them. Lastly, today's stock'ish vintage VW buyer has either never driven an original VW or has only driven hacked examples and has no idea that they are not supposed to run like a turd that fell off the manure wagon.
