EMPI GT 4-Tip Street Exhaust — Aggressive Street Sound, Track-Proven Style
Turn every drive into an event with the EMPI GT 4-Tip Street Exhaust System. Engineered specifically for the VW Type 1 Beetle and Karmann Ghia, this system delivers the deep, throaty GT exhaust note enthusiasts demand — without sacrificing daily drivability. Four chrome-tipped outlets announce your presence while built-in resonators smooth out the sound signature for comfortable cruising.
Why This Exhaust Stands Apart
The EMPI GT 4-Tip is built from heavy-gauge 1 3/8" steel tubing, the same diameter used in serious performance builds. Black high-heat coating protects the header during shipping and break-in; the four chrome tips are pre-installed and ready to show. Unlike budget exhausts that rust out within a season, this system is engineered for the long haul — EMPI has been building air-cooled VW parts since the 1950s, and their exhaust quality reflects decades of refinement.
The slip-joint connection works seamlessly with stock heater boxes and J-tube setups, so you're not forced into a full heating system overhaul to run this exhaust. All necessary mounting hardware and an aluminum flex hose are included in the box — no sourcing parts separately.
Performance and Sound
GT-style exhausts are the go-to choice for Beetle owners who want noticeably improved exhaust tone and a slight performance gain over the stock single-outlet system. The four-tip design increases exhaust flow area and reduces back pressure compared to the stock muffler, translating to a crisper throttle response throughout the RPM range on 1300cc through 1600cc engines.
