Used to sell them back in the late 1970s and 1980s through Autocavan. Nothing special about them – just a generic 'extractor' exhaust. Not a merged design. The glassfibre packing blows out of the muffler after a few months! They also rust... Ansa made exhaust systems for Ferrari, by the way.

I wonder if American muscle guys referred to glasspacks as fart cans back in the day like everybody does now with the Honda and modern import tuner crowd?  Just curious... I know the cars were refered to as kraut cans back then, but am wondering if the glasspack tone would have incited the same type of antagonism?

Whaw, never seen an NOS on before.  I love the looks, it's like an DKP1 exhaust.

HEY! I wouldn't call the Ansa glaspack a poor quality exhaust. I have spent the last 14 years trying to kill one but it's still going strong..
In 1997 I found a nos header and exhaust and bolted it to my first bug. A lot of cars have come and gone since then but the glaspack has been on one of them all the time. For the first 4-5 years it was used all year long and saw about 20.000km's a year, half of them on salty winter roads. It has been on my current '57 oval since 2005 and I drive that car about 15.000 km each summer. I guess the exhaust has seen about 250.000 km's so far. How long does an original exhaust last?
Ok, lately it has been getting a new coat of black oven paint every spring, but it's still working like a charm and one my oldest and most abused VW parts  Wink

I have one on my 65 which runs a stock 1200.  Sounds amazing, not very loud at all I love it.  Highly recommended.
