Classic Dune Buggy Exhaust | Brushed Stainless Steel (EMPI 00-3371-0)

Upgrade your ride with the EMPI Classic Dune Buggy Exhaust System — an exclusive design engineered for a flawless mix of classic style, rugged durability, and high-performance flow.

Developed by EMPI's engineering team using SolidWorks CAD, this exhaust features a fully reconfigured, TIG-welded collector. The result: significantly reduced back pressure and a deep, mellow exhaust note that sounds great whether you're cruising the blacktop or hitting the dunes and trails.

Vehicle Fitment

• Open-chassis VW Type 1 engines (1300–2110cc) in dune buggies, sand rails, Manx-style buggies, and woods buggies

• Stripped Beetle pans running open exhaust (no body / no heater channels)

• Kit cars built on a VW Type 1 chassis

NOT compatible with heater boxes — this is an open-exhaust system designed for buggies, not street-driven Beetles that need cabin heat.

Premium Construction & Easy Installation

Built to last, this system features mandrel-bent 1.5" tubing and slip-fit joints, ensuring maximum ground clearance and a trouble-free installation. Crafted from high-grade, long-lasting brushed 204 stainless steel, this exhaust delivers premium, reliable service at a highly competitive price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this fit a stock Beetle with heater boxes? No — this is a buggy exhaust, not compatible with heater boxes. If you need cabin heat, you need a different header system.

• What engine sizes work? Designed for Type 1 engines from 1300cc up through 2110cc stroker builds. Works with stock-port and ported heads.

• Will it fit a Manx body? Yes — designed for open-chassis applications including Manx-style and Manx-clone buggies.

• How loud is it? Deep and mellow, not raspy. Significantly louder than a stock muffler but not race-loud — most owners describe it as "the right sound for a buggy."

• Polished vs brushed — what's the difference? Brushed 204SS (this listing) has a satin finish, holds up well to outdoor use, and costs less. Polished 304SS has a mirror finish and slightly better corrosion resistance — contact us if you want that version.

• What's included for install? Heat risers, gaskets, and all mounting hardware. You'll need basic hand tools and roughly 1–2 hours.
