In a return to hippie roots I got my first VW recently. This list ROCKS! Is there any consensus about upgrading a stock squareback exhaust? I'm thinking header of some sort, in an obvious V-8 flashback. A tough job of replacement? Do I need to lose the heater stuff? not such a problem here in sunny Flourdough, the shoeshine state, plus I have one of those fancy german gas fired heaters under the hood. I'd like to be peaceful to the neighbors in the predawn darkness in which I shufflle off to work, but anything would be better than the leaky-freaky rust maze back there. I got a '72 squreback, FI, MT, with good floorpans, bad fenders and running fine for $1300. I consider it a good deal and she's a lot of fun to drive for something so slow. No wonder it's the hippies choice, I feel more mellow every time I get behind the wheel. Thanks in advance for any advice.
