Title: For a 2276ccm - witch Header or Muffler?
Post by: Mario/DKT on March 26, 2008, 09:27:04 am
The 2276ccm Type1 for the lowlight is ready to start
Now i need a header and muffler.
I prefer the Phat boy turbo muffler with a 1 3/8" ceramic header (had this one on my 1962 squareback with a 1835 Type1).

Which header/muffler do you use?

A mild 2276 I'd run an A1 1 5/8" merge. A more serious tune I'd run a 1 3/4".

I would go for 1 5/8" with 2,5" turbo muffler :) I like the look of VWSS systems (stainless steal) I've got one fits perfect, look grate, sounds perfect price... I think for that quality is not so much.
the beutifful look and awsome performance (CB contest winning engine had that) 1 3/4" + 2,5" muff (there is avaliable one 70mm one awsome look grate sound)
can make picks of all those exhausts if you wanna see one.

Tom.
