Why It Matters
The fuel-injected Beetle tail pipe is short, so moisture collects in it and it rusts quickly. A rotten pipe gets loud, leaks exhaust under the rear apron and lets the clamp slip, so the pipe can fall off on the road. Because the 1975–1979 FI tail pipe is different from the twin pipes on earlier Beetles, it is often hard to find. This is the correct OE-pattern part.
Installation Notes
- Clean the muffler outlet stub to bright metal so the pipe slides on fully.
- Use a new tail pipe clamp and seal.
- Align the pipe so it clears the rear apron and bumper, then tighten the clamp.
- Recheck the clamp after the first few heat cycles.
