Exhaust Does Not Fit

FM Former Member
Installation Problem:

In installed the new DYNO-TUNED DUAL-HEADER EXHAUST from JC Whitney at
www.jcwhitney.com/productnoitem.jhtml?CATID=63150&BQ=jcw2

Glass-packed detachable mufflers
Custom fit for '66-73 Volkswagen Type I Beetle, Super Beetle and Karmann Ghia
This specially designed system is dyno-tuned to scavenge gases from alternating cylinders and route them through the original body panel openings into two fully chromed mufflers. 18-gauge tube is mandrel-bent and wrinkle free. Dyno-tuned and equal-length design for high performance.

Here is my problem. When I try to put on the Glass-packed detachable mufflers they hit the body of the car and do not fit under the body in both the rear and the side. Looks like this system does not fit.

Ideas?

Thx
Brian

The first speedster I had, even a single EMPI quiet pack hit the body. You can make what youve got fit if you cut a small wedge (1/4" at the bottom, tapering to the top of the tube, but not all the way through) out of the bottom of the exhaust tube, just after the collector, and roll the entire muffler/ tailpipe assy down until it clears. All you have to do is then is lay a single weld where the wedge closes up. Any muffler shop should be able to do it for 20 bucks. Good luck.
