EMPI GT 2-Tip Exhaust System — Black Pipe, Chrome Tips | VW Type 1 (17-2900-0)

The EMPI GT 2-Tip Exhaust System is the bolt-on classic that gives your air-cooled VW Beetle or Karmann Ghia a deeper, throaty exhaust note without the harshness of straight-pipe systems. Twin chrome tips exit through the stock rear apron cutouts for a clean OEM look while preserving ground clearance on lowered cars.

Installation note: The factory black paint is a shipping rust inhibitor and will burn off within hours of use. We recommend stripping and refinishing with high-temperature exhaust paint (1200°F+) or a ceramic coating before installation for a durable finish. Not warranted against rust. Replacement exhaust clamps recommended for any new install.

Sound: Deeper, mellow GT tone — louder than stock pea-shooter but not aggressive. Perfect for cruisers and resto-mods.
