 How to make a '74 1.8L sound less like a VW bug, Would this necessitate a muffler change? Muffler modification? Exhaust tip? |

@Van B
what you describe is all done inside the standard bug muffler. but its very restrictive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQlmITr10R8 (i can't believe this guy cut open a nos ernst muffler to make this vid! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) the type 4 mufflers were sort of like this but not, as they had the tailpipe exiting through one of the end chambers. |
