      1. do you have your own bender - if yes - which one.
      2. if you start with a "pile of u bends" what's your strategy.

      Impressive indeed, great work!
      There's always something new to learn.

        Thanks guys. Silver...I assume you mean the tubes into the collectors? I bought the collectors from my speed shop.




        I have no bender..its jus cut n paste pieces as you go. Its always, "can I get to the spark plugs?", for me. I never concern myself to much with equal lengths...whatever fits. The fronts always make it to the bottom of the collector and I usually start with the center cylinders. This ones as tight as I've had I think.









        Still gonna run it down under the tank and come up with another "resinator" of some sort that I can tune the sound with if thats even possible. Then exit the rear apron with stock style VW tips...oversized.

                        Anybody seen or used these valves for airride systems??? No solenoids jus manual valves...line from tank to valves to bags...gonna give them a whirl.

                        Air ride suspension made easy with manual valves. Little Larry's manual air valves for the auto enthusist. The FOURPLAY air ride suspension valve is a complete control unit for your air ride suspension. FBSS


                        The four valve is for this project...the two for another bug.

                            Hey 'Lac - I hate to pee on your parade but - well - you put the motor in the wrong end. Probably why it's been so much work! For some reason Hitler's henchman decided that the engine goes in the REAR (I know - crazy, huh).
