There are 2 small heat exchangers coming off of cylinders 2 & 4 that are connected to the main part of the muffler with a 46mm nut. The elbow between the fan housing and that heat exchanger also changed in '66 with a small hose to the collector on the car body being added. Later on the muffler changed again slightly when the exhaust pipe got larger. This muffler is still available from Bill and Steve's and will work on all '66 and later cars as far as I know as long as you get the tailpipe to go with it. The heat exchangers should be saved from your old muffler as they are no longer available. If you have an earlier car you will probably have to make do with some sort of alternative. I did an article last year for the Karmann Ghia Club of North America that I should probably forward to Greg for the web page as it details some of the changes over the years and shows some examples of different aftermarket mufflers that have been produced.
