For the tailpipe and damper pipe, you need another Beetle tailpipe clamp set and the heavy clamp that joins the tailpipe and damper pipe, plus an M8x20 to bolt it to the muffler. > I don't notice any crossover of the tubing inside.

Better quality ones have cross-over pipes to give a similar length to the pipes that come from the front ports through the lower heat exchangers. They are more efficient and a lot quieter. The original VW ones are heavier gauge metal too, and last maybe 3 times as long. > -kevin > '71 sqbk > '65 kombi > somerville, ma ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
