Custom Type IV Exhaust.

[Wally]

It sure looks good and I like the fact that it is not really lower than stock. Also the valve covers can be reached easily. Big bonus points there also!
You would almost want it be tested in Jakes big type 4 exhaust shootout

How does the pipework run inside the muffler?

Thanks,
Walter

Hi Wally,

I am not sure how the muffer in constructed as it was made by a seperate specialist muffer shop. When I got my hands on it was all welded up.

I know that it is glass filled.

The height was important in the design because my beetle is quite a bit lower all round. I had a simillar exhaust on the beetle previous but the bad points were the distance below the apron that it hung, (stop draging it on drive ways), the muffler was not supported so it kept breaking manifold bolts.

This setup is miles better.

Regards submitting the exhaust for Jake's testing, there maybe one small problem... The exhaust is in New Zealand and Jake is not.

I am sorry but I would rather spend the shipping money on other bits and pieces. It would be cool though to know how it stacks up against some of the mass manufactured systems.

If any one is up for sponsoring it, we maybe able to come to some agreement.

I wonder what Jakes thoughts are, it could be a dark horse in the testing !!!!.

This dark horse would be a front-runner on my track if it weren't for the fact it is a one-off design. The current pre-test front-runner is lower than and sticks out from a stock apron -- even before mufflers are applied.
