It's a 1.5" complete header I bought it from S&S Headers...BUT!...since it was
designed under the completely wrong assumption that the cooling system isn't
necessary for a T3 (I spoke with the <ahem> "engineer", talk about ignorant
towards air-cooled VWs...) I had to take it to a muffler shop where I had them
extend the lower "J" of the J-tube so the #1 and #3 exhaust would clear the
lower cooling tin. Very easy for a muffler shop to do if they have an engine
to work with i.e. you'll need to give 'em your car or, like what I did, an
engine to model around.
I would recommend buying the S&S Header merge/collector as that's a nice piece
of work, however, their complete exhaust system leaves me with a bad taste in
my mouth because the worthless information the "engineer" thinks he has about
air-cooled VWs.
My opinion, taken with a nugget of unprocessed sea salt and a dash of jerk
seasoning :-\
Oh, just remembered, the muffler is a Dynamax. Works very well, full flow,
well made! That part of the install I did myself since I have a MIG welder.
