Stainless Racing Muffler, 2 Inlet Clamp On, 14 Long

Latest Rage Stainless Racing Muffler - 2 Inch Inlet Clamp-On

VW Fitment and Application Guide

The Latest Rage Stainless Racing Muffler (SKU: 00-3783-0) is engineered specifically for high-performance VW air-cooled exhaust systems. It features a 2-inch inlet designed to clamp directly onto 2-inch OD exhaust piping, making it a perfect match for custom merged headers typically found on Baja Bugs, Dune Buggies, and Sand Rails. With a 4-inch outlet and a 14-inch overall length, this muffler provides a deep, aggressive racing tone without sacrificing engine backpressure or performance.

Pro Tech Tips for Installation

Use T-Bolt Clamps for Superior Sealing: While this is a clamp-on muffler, we recommend using a high-quality stainless steel T-bolt clamp rather than a standard U-bolt muffler clamp. T-bolt clamps provide 360-degree even pressure, ensuring a leak-free seal and preventing the muffler from vibrating loose during off-road use.

Clean Before First Start: After installation and before you start the engine, wipe the entire stainless surface with denatured alcohol or a grease-cutting cleaner. Oils and fingerprints left on the stainless steel can "bake" into the metal during the first heat cycle, creating permanent brown spots or stains that are difficult to remove later.

Verify Rear Apron Clearance: Because this muffler features a large 4-inch outlet, always check the clearance between the muffler body and your VW's rear apron or bumper. Ensure there is at least an inch of air space to prevent heat transfer from damaging your paint or causing body panels to rattle against the exhaust.
