BUGPACK 1-5/8" Stainless Merged Competition Exhaust with Stinger | VW Type 1 1300-1600cc (B2-0461-0)

BUGPACK 1-5/8" Stainless Steel Merged Competition Exhaust with Straight Stinger

Built for high-performance off-road competition and aggressive street builds, the BUGPACK Stainless Steel Competition Exhaust (part #B2-0461-0) is constructed entirely from premium stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and structural integrity under extreme heat and vibration.

Featuring oversized 1-5/8" diameter tubing, this exhaust maximizes scavenging on performance-built 1300cc-1600cc Type 1 engines. The merged, spring-attached collector allows thermal expansion without cracking, while thick stainless flanges provide a warp-resistant seal against the cylinder heads. A classic straight stinger delivers the unmistakable competition look and sound.
