From what I've seen, there are several member vendors here that make very high quality mufflers and/or exhaust systems...I dig 'em all!
That said, if you watch some of his videos, it's pretty hard to hate on this Vintage Speed guy. We've already gotten feedback that he offers top notch products. Aesthetically, his stuff looks pretty damn good....check out his Bomber Seat....that thing's a piece of artwork. Moreover: He seems to have a passion for everything aircooled. He has a very impressive collection of bugs, vans, and Porsches. He has created his own business through hard work, meticulous detail, and a decent system. All admirable characteristics. ....seems like a likable character too. ...as far as safety standards go, I'm sure he's adhering to the acceptable standards within his own country. Personally, I'm tired of having to build a scaffold with hand rails nowadays in order to change a light bulb that I could easily access from the 3rd step of a ladder. If you don't understand my last comment, try actually "getting anything done" at most modern job sites. |

I need a performance muffler for my '67 bus (2007cc), but I want to get rid of the drone. I'd say doable. Is it quiet? No! But you need the flow so what are you going to do. But there are far louder exhausts out there. Also I coated the entire rear end with dynamat to keep the noise down. But in the end it's still a largo boombox. Especially in a 67 since you're missing the firewall between the tank and engine. |

Especially in a 67 since you're missing the firewall between the tank and engine. My twin weber, 2007cc has a cheap bugpack header and single QP muffler. It has stock size valves so I can use the heater boxes. It's not that it's loud, it's the interior drone on long trips. It's fully dynamat x2 layers, IMHO it didn't do much. The foam bed and bedding does way more than the dynamat. Never thought about the lack of a divider between the tank and engine, I'll look at making some kind of divider. |

Vintage Speed stuff is well known in the VW world.
I want one BAD for my Karmann Ghia. Watch some of his videos. Good stuff here. |

Vintage Speed had a booth at Phoenix Club last year not sure if they attended the most recent one. Back then they were featuring some nice carb accessories and some 911 specific applications.

I was using their system on my Vanagon, nice welds for sure, the tubing seems thin compared to stuff made over here. Shipping is a bit steep due to the distance and customs.
