What would be the best exhaust for the type 1 engine? Something that sounds lower has kinda a rumble to it. I know it's hard to get a cool sound but the closest thing to it would be good.

Those would look nice coming through the rocker panel with a nice metal framed exit  |

I'm planning on running the pipes up near the front and have functional side-pipes / lakepipes, whatever you wanna call them. I figure that the exhaust gases should be cool enough by the time they get to the front that it won't be turning the chrome blue, and I won't be burning my leg ;D  |

Don't forget that they must be isolated from the body/chassis with rubber. When I did this on my beetle I used a 4 into one header. directed it to the right frame horn, 90 deg into a section of stainless flex pipe,then a 90 to head forward. 180 deg into resonator within running board, followed by an expansion chamber that contains the outlets. You can see the edge of the resonator peaking out below the door area. Even at this distance the steel running board gets quite warm. Due to the extra length and bends you should use 2" pipe to keep backpressure to around 2 psi at 2000 rpm. Also if running duals use a crossover or a 4 into 1 header then into 2.  Very crude diagram  |

I did this on one of my buggies. Type 4engine, Stock manifolds installed backwards. 2 Chevy Chevette mufflers, turn aroiunds and tips. Using an old set of cannon mufflers it can be done on a type 1 engine for a lot less than they want.    |
