BUGPACK 1-1/2" Stainless Merged Competition Exhaust with Stinger | VW Type 1 1300-1600cc (B2-0501-0)

BUGPACK 1-1/2" Stainless Steel Merged Competition Exhaust with Straight Stinger

Built to withstand off-road competition and high-performance street use, the BUGPACK Stainless Steel Competition Exhaust (part #B2-0501-0) is constructed entirely from premium stainless steel to beat the elements and resist corrosion far better than mild-steel alternatives.

This system features 1-1/2" diameter tubing, ideal for optimizing exhaust velocity and scavenging on 1300cc to 1600cc based Type 1 engines. The merged, spring-attached collector allows thermal expansion without compromising the header, while thick stainless flanges ensure a warp-resistant, leak-free seal. A classic straight stinger delivers a high-flow, aggressive competition tone.

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Beetle (Type 1): 1966-1973 based, 1300cc-1600cc engines
• Off-road, competition & daily-driver performance builds: heater-box-off setups

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized flow: 1-1/2" tubing balances backpressure and flow for small to mid-displacement performance engines.
• All-weather stainless construction: Full stainless build resists rust from mud, salt, or moisture.
• Competition-grade collector: Merged, spring-attached collector reduces stress on the header tubes and improves gas merging.
• Precision flanges: Thick-cut stainless flanges provide a flat, secure mating surface.
• Heater box elimination: Replaces restrictive heater boxes / heat exchangers to maximize power and reduce weight.
