I Need A New Muffler, but???

OK. Fom my other thread, it sounds like I need a new muffler, but can I just go to Auto Zone and tell them I need a muffler for a 69 VW. I guess what I need to know, is, is there a difference between a muffler for a 1776cc engine and a 1915cc engine (like mine) or are they all the same regardless of the engine size? Thanks for the help.

There are a lot of different kinds of header/mufflers on the market. Some have 1 1/2 tubing, other have 1 5/8 tubing etc.

A lot depends on where you want the exhaust tip to show on the back, if you have a heater, if you want loud or soft and the list goes on an on.

I may have commented on your other thread but I don't remember, before you run out and buy a muffler try replacing the gaskets, they may be the source of the leak.

Call VW Country in Bakersfield or CB Performance in Farmersville
VW Country (661) 326-8092 ask for Mike and tell him Larry Jowdy told you to call

Thanks Larry. It looks like I need to post more information.

I just want a replacement for my current, stock muffler that Vintage puts on all of it's 1915cc engines. It has dual chrome exhaust pipes and the pipes appear to be 1.5". Thank you.

Troy, I have the same muffler that came on your car. It has about 10 hours on it. I will give you a great deal on it. Give me a call 561 301 7885

Thanks Will. I'll take it.

Calif and you shop Autozone! I like to take my business to the few VW specific parts dealers left. They are ones that are keeping 40 year old bugs alive. FLAPS ok for oil and grease but only have few fast moving VW parts whicle CIP asnd others have vast catalogs of goodies. They have helpful, knowledgeable VW oriented staff too.

Greg, you are absolutely right. I try to use Bugcity in CT, evwparts.com down by you in MD, and a local imported car parts place near me in Poughkeepsie.

But in a pinch, on a Sunday, Autozone, yes Autozone, had rear wheel cylinders in stock, on the shelf when I needed them! Otherwise it's just oil and bulbs and stuff. I did buy an electric rotary fuel pump from them, just ask for an electric pump for a '68 Bug. Self-regulated at 3 to 3.5 psi, has a screw-in pre-filter, and has been working fine for 5 years now.

Troy,
I read a good review on the Tri-mil Euro two tip, here is the link:

I put it on my stock 1600 gas saver motor (2 liter is in my shop being built) "it sounds great!" as Tony the tiger would say.
