any on here know if this muffler will clear the rear apron on a Karmann Ghia? Trying to find out before It comes to install time and finding out it's a non-fit

According to CIP1,
| Quote: |
| This GENUINE VW of Mexico 4-into-1 header with muffler chamber and 2 large chrome tail pipes is a great combination of style and performance for your 13-1600CC Beetle or Ghia engines. The large chrome tips exit the exhaust gases out the factory tail pipe cut-outs in the rear apron and provide excellent ground clearance and very throaty performance sound. Constructed from 1.25 inch tubing. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT FIT WITH ANY FILTER PUMP. Special note: We just installed one of these exhaust systems onto a 1600cc VW Beetle powered 356 Speedster Replica kit car - WOW what a great looking exhaust - it fit perfectly - nicely placed up out of sight. |
So it sounds like as long as you don't have a filter pump you should be good to go.

I would suspect it will fit, but it's a POS and you'd be better off with a stock muffler.

Thanks, all, this is on a "temporary" engine just to be able to move the car around for a while, as I do some redmedial work on the brakes, interior, electrical, etc.
