Vehicle Fitment & Compatibility

Pro Tech Tips

Use High-Temp Anti-Seize: When sliding this stainless muffler onto your exhaust system, apply a small amount of high-temperature anti-seize to the connection points. Stainless steel has a tendency to "gall" or lock together when subjected to heat cycles; the anti-seize ensures you can remove the muffler later without damaging the tubing.

Clean Before Starting: After installation is complete, but before you start the engine, wipe down the entire muffler with a clean rag and rubbing alcohol or a mild degreaser. Oils from your skin and greasy fingerprints can "bake" into the stainless steel during the first heat cycle, leaving permanent brown or blue stains on the finish.

Verify Your Header: This is a specialized sideflow muffler. It is not a universal fit for stock VW exhausts or standard merged headers. Ensure you are mounting this to the EMPI 00-3255-0 system to guarantee proper clearance with the rear apron and engine components of your 1968-1971 Bus.
