Post by: beetletom on January 02, 2008, 00:33:51 am
is it bad for the engine?

its a proper stainless vw speedshop one... not a shite mondo  :D
i LOVE the sound of them, really throaty (that was on a single carb 1600!) they must sound insane on a bug with ida's!!??
shame they hang so low...

but, can it be done?

single QP on an extractor exhaust would be perfect.

Too big of an exhaust on that little motor will kill the bottom end, and with a little motor its all bottom end ;)

I'VE HAD A FLOWMASTER MUFFLER FROM A-1 ON MY CAR 40HP ENGINE FOR 8 YEARS NOW. RUNS SUPER SWEET.. AND BEFORE THAT HAD ONE ON MY OTHER CAR WITH A 1500 AND IT RAN FINE ALSO... RUNS BETTER THAN WITH A STOCK MUFFLER SYSTEM.. I EVEN HAVE A V.A. DIST.  NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER AND BOTH CARS WHERE DAILY DRIVERS
