Ok, here's my set up




Astra SRi box (I think), a coupla bits of Jetex pipe etc. Ditched the centre clamp section as welded a straight on.
Too noisy at revs for my liking, shoved two bug tail pipes up there to keep it quiet for the MOT.
Box was £50, brand new from a local exhaust place.

This is my exhaust. It is an exhaust for an Alfa Romeo engine in a Beetle.



It's made of parts of the original Alfa manifold, a beetle spaghetti manifold, 4 elbows, a flexible piece and a motorcycle silencer. It's the first time I welded something, so up close is looks terrible....



The sound isn't too loud, but it isn't quiet either.

So when are you dumping that air-cooled lump for a water-cooled?

Finaly finished mine after a week of half days, alot of head scratching and a lot of cross member notching hear is my effort.

Down pipe


Midbox(s)


Rearbox


The main thing I wanted was to make the van quieter which it does considerably. All the parts were from jetex apart from two bends that I had custom bent.

OK, I'll blow the dust of this thread....

I am currently working on a rear disk brake conversion (read here: LINK ).
But a ran into a problem:



The back of the caliper is way to close to the exhaust (and this is with no brakepads in it...). Sad

So, I have to change my exhaust. I am thinking about changing the motorcycle muffles to a conventional car one (see link for details about the current setup).

I am thinking VW Polo of Fiat Punto or something (remember, I have a 1.4).

I need a shorter muffler, do you guys got any recommendations? I want one that I can buy second hand, and one from a car common in Europe..
So, any ideas?

Oh yeah, it's for a 1973 beetle...
