I love the sound of a well tuned motor breathing out of a glass pack. But no one makes them in the right size for the VW anymore, all the ones I've seen (Cherry Bomb, ect.) are too long and/or too big around. Where are they? There has got to be something out there...
BTW, the S&S on my GTV is 18" long and about 3 1/2" diameter...ish. That's about the size I would be looking for.

The dimensions given in the ad are for the inlet/outlet tubing size. The dimension you gave is for the muffler itself. Unless you are running a very large diameter header, they are too big.  |

Are you sure? This one is explained pretty well, seems like it would work to me? http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/FLT50250.htmI have an idea in the works for my A1 Magnaflow... a bit of the old and a bit of the new....
I think you are thinking what I'm thinking... except mine will be with an EMPI twist, of course  I didnt know they were still avaliable, thanks for the link! |

Maize runs one of the Dynomax Bullets on his orange '67, with a nod to the early guys. Sounds like a stinger, but with lots of tone.

I run dual 2 1/2" Dynomax Bullet mufflers on my Unlimited Street car on nitrous, they sound & perform great.

Here's mine that I made using a Cherry Bomb.... the shape of the silencer isn't quite right, but you get the idea.   |

When it comes to glasspacks, tailpipe length is your friend.

There is a a glass pack available at CSP.  I have one just like that made by EMPI though, but it was the first thing I bought after I bought my VW without knowing the bad about EMPI |

Sorry I'm a little late to reply. I re-fitted the muffler earlier (I've changed headers and it no longer hangs right), and made this short clip.  The sound of the muffler is by no means offensive, but I'm sure that my neighbours didn't appreciate it at 500 in the morning when I left for work. The tubing from the flange to the silencer is 1.75"(45mm), the silencer OD is 3.5"(90mm) and the silencer alone is 12"(305mm) long. |

Hi guys,
i found a dealer for cherry bombs today in belgium:
he sells them with 2 1/4 ; 2 1/2 and 3 inch tubing,
i m wondering now what size tubing would be nice for my 2276;
was thinking for 2 1/2...
