Who makes the quietest exhaust on the market?
Has anyone tried a header with a Turbo muffler?
How quiet are the hide-away mufflers?
This will be installed on a totally stock 1600 DP. |

The stock muffler is the quietest.
Putting a aftermarket muffler will at most yield 2-3hp more... if that. And too large a system will hurt the performance.

| I've got a stainless steel muffler with stainless steel tail pipes on my daily driver '74 super, and it seems to be more quiet than anything I ever had before. |

Adding a pair of baffled exhaust tips will make it even quieter.

Is it this one? I saw it and was wondering if its cost was justified.

Can't beat a stock muffler for that classic VW sound. For and extra hundred bucks, you can get a
complete kit that is cermanic coated. It'll probably be the last muffler you'll ever buy for the car.

stock is quitest, header w/quite pack comes close. most everything else out there is loud, cheap or gives poor performance on stockish style engines.

| a stinger definitely, jk. i like extractor headers with a quiet pack sounds a little deeper than stock, they make a single tip stock muffler also. it might be a tad quieter than stock 2 tipped. |

I am running a 1-5/8" A-1 Sidewinder on my bug and it is very quiet. Expensive, but quiet. My bug is not completely stock.

| the turbo muffler is very meaty sounding, it will make others think you have a fast bug. |
