Maximum Performance with Stock Peashooter Exits

One of the best performance exhausts for your classic VW. You get all of the performance from a stainless steel, side-exit merged exhaust, and it exits through the stock "pea shooter" cutouts in the apron so lowered cars don't have to worry about dragging a muffler pack on speed bumps, dips or driveways.

Mufflers are Better than Stingers!

Having a muffler on any street-driven VW Beetle makes driving your VW more enjoyable. Being able to talk to your passengers without having the annoying scream of a stinger is great. This JBugs Phantom exhaust delivers an aggressive, throaty tone without being loud and obnoxious like a stinger.

1-1/2" Header is Ideal for Engines Under 1900cc

The 1-1/2" header works great on engines under 1914cc. Generally, if you have a 1914cc or larger engine, you should probably use a 1-5/8" header, but if your engine is smaller than that, this 1-1/2" header is the way to go.

V-band Clamp for Easier Valve Adjustments

With a side-exit header, and more specifically with tucked-away mufflers, you have to take the muffler off in order to adjust the valves. With a standard 3-bolt flange, that means you need to replace the exhaust gasket every 3,000 miles. With the V-band clamp on our Phantom exhaust, you don't need a new gasket every time you take the muffler off. The design of the clamp ensures a leak-free seal, allowing you to adjust the valves without worrying about needing a new gasket.

Made in the USA

Our JBugs Phantom exhaust is made in California, including the muffler canister and the collector. The factory makes everything in-house. It might cost more, but it's made here in America!

Polished Muffler & Exhaust Tips

The Phantom Exhaust tailpipes and mufflers are fully polished stainless steel. The header is not fully polished because it is tucked away and not seen, but the entire muffler is fully polished. Stainless steel requires maintenance (polishing) to maintain that finish. The rest of the exhaust system is standard stainless, but if you want the stock look of bright, "chrome-looking" tailpipes, you will need to make sure to keep them clean and polish them, once the exhaust is cooled off, of course.
