I remember those... but I think Phoenix sold/made those?

How about a Flowmaster?  Mason's got one on his lump and you can barely hear the exhaust at all  (j/k).

flowmaster.... ?

I don't know, It is only stamps "thunderbird"  on it 

I've seen an ads in old french vw mag with this muffler but I don't remember the name.

Thanks, I can just picture myself on the phone trying to explain Tiger how I would like my exhaust to be made ;-)

I do like how those mufflers sound though- the extra pass back through the muffler seems to really make a difference in noise. Ground clearance has never been a big deal for me either, just be concious that the muffler is back there and you'll never scrape it.

Been there, done that, many years ago. Ground clearance was never a big deal for me, as well. I always took great care in making sure my lowered cars stayed looking nice. But I'm building this current car to suit my much older needs, now.

I can't wait to hear how my 1915cc is gonna sound with my muffler. Every car that I've heard with the same muffler sounds good. Not too loud. Which is what I told Tiger and he sold me the Magnaflow. GREAT design.

Don't worry about Tiger... whatever you need, he's been there and done that.
I've used him for several projects and have been completely satisfied every time.

Here are pictures of the mufflers I have right now:
2½" Stainless "see through" muffler - LOUD (sorry for the "long distance" shot)
Single quiet pack muffler (bought together with a 1-3/8" merged header from CB performance)

I like the looks off the polished muffler, and the sound of the quiet pack (ok, maybe a bit more sound than the quiet pack - but something like that). Anyone know where I can get the best of both worlds ?

Dual quiet packs, ceramic coated?

                                                Mason's is the old Dynomax. He used to run a flowmaster about 18 years ago and it would shatter the glass in your car.

For the best performance at the whole rpm range i still use my own muffler , i sell the tubes  bend like this in 45 and 50 mm.

the one that exited under his RH runningboard? 
I remember sheep and I standing around at Classic 1991 when he parked that car right next to us. Sounded like an F1 car parking. I actually loved that system on his car. Though his car sounds radically mean now, it sounded even more pissed off with the FM muffler.

I have a CSP(Germany) stainless stell muffler with some small modifications ( to go under the rear appron) and I like it!!...

[Rennsurfer]

GREAT picture! I love beige Cal Lookers. Love the engine too... all business. What kind of wheels on that Oval?

I came real close to buying that C.S.P. exhaust. But at the last minute, I looked at Glenn's and priced out the A-1 system much cheaper, including the matching diameter heater boxes.

But I really like the looks of your exhaust. Very clean and tidy appearance.

                                                            That's the one. I remember Jim Bangs standing right next to the car in the parking lot of Carls Jr., where we used to meet to go to shows, and Mason lighting the car off. Jim jumped about six inches off the ground and spilled his coffee all over my shoes.

I just run the standard old merged quiet packs from the Bergs.

WOW! Beautiful car, Sir. Thanks for the pics. I don't have that issue. Gotta find a source that sells VolksWorld mags in the States.

I love that exhaust on Glenn's car. His is the inspiration for me going to A-1 Muffler and having Tiger building me this custom 1 5/8" sidewinder merged header. Then, he angled my Magnaflow stainless steel muffler 45 degrees on the passenger side, next to the 1 5/8" flanged heater boxes (also from Tiger). Finally, I told Tiger what I wanted for the exhaust tips and he took care of me.

I'm VERY happy with the overall look, performance, and quality. I've always wanted to somehow tuck a merged collector under a Type 1 body but use the factory cutouts on the rear valance (apron).

Excellent ground clearance, too! Which is one of the main things I was aiming for. Plus, I didn't want the same look as everyone else. By the way, the muffler that Tiger set me up with is GREAT! Very quiet and has multiple i
