I'm pretty sure Porsche was not very happy about that name...guess they didn't stay in business for long? This is what I got in the mail today  Grin

The header has a large flange, it reminds me a lot of the Ansa exhausts except for the non-flared tip

has any of the oldtimers seen these before? The text in the instructions makes me think this was written in 68

well, in the end it did fit the beetle, I like how it sits nicely tucked actually

I didn't get the header to seal properly with the heat exchangers, the header is pretty much a straight pipe, not flared like others, so those #### donut seals don't have a chance to seal anything!

Convert it to flanges. Those donuts are worthless on anything other than a stock exhaust.

or maybe an exhaust shop could flare the ends?

looks like it's supposed to use one piece clamps in the same way that the old 25hp mufflers did, so I'll try that first, I'll avoid pulling this f###er again if I can  Grin
