I have a 1970 4 with exchangers but no heat hooked up and no plans for it. Dual Weber 40IDFs and cam.
I currently have a Bursch type exhaust. It's really loud. I like loud but this sounds bad. And I want smoother, deeper sounds. Also i get an enormous amount of heat in the rear.

Finding an inexpensive header seems impossible. So wondering if anyone has done a setup similar to this.

Use the J pipes from a late model and turn them around....attach turbomufflers or magnas and then route the pipe out the back.

Would this kill any torque or power I have? Would it be quieter?

Here is my setup, but I really like the port hole valance, but not the tiny pipe. This car sounds nothing like any VW engine you will ever here. It is very unique.

Hey, I was the one who started that topic and I ended up using the Stig's design on a Kerry Hunter header. I actually tested it on a dyno and gained about 10 HP over the Supertrap the KH header came with. I am very happy with the sound (not too loud), performance and look of the system.
