Thunderbird Dual quiet muffler for bug, 38mm (1 1/2")-still available?

Hi guys!
Does anyone know where I still can get a new replacement muffler of the type stated above? It has the "large" flange, 3bolt, rounded shape, the top bolt on the "12:00" position. Thunderbird doesn´t produce this version any more, but I´d like to keep my ceramic coated header. I already contacted a bunch of dealers, but they couldn´t help me further
I need the "Thunderbird" one as this one is mentioned in my vehicles´documents to keep it street legal.
So does anyone have a hint for me? Thanks!

I'm sorry i can't help you, but if you find it i'll be interested too! I have a 12 o'clock header too and you don't see many mufflers for it.
Btw, is it ceramic coated, or ...?

Hi Gregor, try it by ssp! I think they will have a Dualquite Muffler in ceramic coated that looks like the Thunderbird one! i think you can have it in a merged version and for standard Headers!

@67-indeed:
The single quiet mufflers for the standard "large" flanges are still available at Custom & Speed Parts in Germany, e.g. They are available in a standard black or a ceramic coated version:
Check out
www.customspeedparts.de
and then go to "e-shop".
@Sven: I´ll check that, thanks!

...same as me
Maybe I´ll go for the 35mm one and modify the flange to match my 38mm header. As I´d like to have the black one, it should be possible to repaint it after welding...

as long as it's a neat welding job it will do. i've seen it before, but i think it can look better than this:

Hi all,
if the position of the small flange is the problem then why not cut it off, twist it and re-weld it? On a non-ceramic-coated muffler that´s no big deal!
Bye,

...I think the "Large" flange has different distances between the three bolt holes-so it needs to be replaced. But as mentioned-I´ll reweld it and that´s it.
