never quite perfect, is it?  beautifully smooth finish, looks like it was brand new! You know me dude ..I'd just given it another re-furb... Plasticote 'Wood Stove'... it soon dulled though...  Steve, your Kab with the T-bars was just perfect for me! It just "worked. Back on topic, although without pictures, I used the Bugpack duals on my Ghia, but I bent them on a kerb - not like StreetVWs brother though - I did mine while reversing into a parking spot... I'll be rebuilding them for the Beetle soon though, and I'll be paing particular attention to getting them to fit the wing line! |

Yes but if I remember well he had a merged header so he made the tube after the flange shorter. I have to search on his website. Thanks for the pic Fabs Someone's got pics of the Flat4 dual quiet pack mounted on a car?

Thanks for the pic Fabs Yep Fabs that's it, he mounted the Flat4 on a merged header so it wasn't good and he only shortened the tube. On my engine I'll have a standard header.     They are to wide and dont fit under the fenders... My opinion...

Under the back of a late model with bumpers and non-merged header I don't think there's a need to shorten the flange tube, but yes I would have to check if it's too wide or not.

Can anybody tell me what the tubing size is on the old (berg/Phoenix/S&S/other brand) small flange QP's (between the mufflers where the flange is)? I could also use a measurement of how far apart the tips are from each other. Thanks for the help. Andy |

...back in England before Volksworld etc I subscribed to Hot VWs and there was an article about exhaust design which I think S&S helped with. This had tube length and diameters etc. I don't have this any more. It would have been about the time of the HotVWs 20th anniversary. Does anyone have this for the answers?
Hope this helps!

Sept. 1986 Hot VWs, the same issue with the horrifically gaudy "Top Gun" full custom of Ed Papac, had an article about exhaust system and header design, featuring a Q&A with the head of S&S Headers, I believe. I was just reading it the other day. |

If I remember right they did not have the dual quiet pack mufflers for the Ghias at the time I made my own as the angle at the rear would be straight across in line with the bumper to look correct. I was working on my motor tonight for the Ghia which I will be starting on this project next year about this time. Right now I am concentrating on the NSU project. The engine for the Ghia is a 1755 CC 69 x 90 NPR. I just finish rebuilding my 48 IDA'S this week and ready to bolt them on the motor. I will probably be posting pictures of it in a few weeks.

Is anyone able to scan the HotVWs article? I'd be interested in reading it again (25 years on!)
Thanks
