Lowered notchback exhaust clearance question
« on: February 26, 2016, 07:14:24 PM »
Hi Airspeeders

A buddy of mine from work has a lowered notchback ( pretty slammed ) he wants to know how much lower a single quiet pack exhaust system will hang than his stock muffler . Anybody have an idea on the height difference ? I've not owned a type 3 since 1985 ( sheesh I'm old )


Thanks in advance
Dwayne

i've never owned a notch so cant offer much help apart from this pic...you can kind of get an idea of how much the 3 bolt flange on the header hangs below the apron...

that was after a quick search...a deeper search into thesamba.com gallery & forum may turn up better info...or hopefully someone here can help you & your buddy out!

Both will look, sound and fit better than a cheap single QP
