I have a 72 super beetle. It has straight pipes now but i am having some neighbors complain about the noise and am tired of it so i am going to change out the exhaust. Any recomendations(under 100) for a good quiet exhaust. What about any other ways to keep it quiet without sacrificing power.

If you have a stock engine then you are already losing power. Get a single quiet pack and you'll be much better off.
