CA77 Mufflers/Headpipe

Post by Bills32 » Sat Oct 04, 2008 4:16 pm

Has anyone used these mufflers? How do they look? How do they fit? They are quite pricey.

Thanks
Bill

Those are tips for the VW Bug. Ya can get them at VW parts shops and they will be a lot less expensive. Also ya just may get what ya pay for. ...........lm

I believe you can get the same ones from APEX on eBay but some buyers claim they are not worth the money. I did see you have to order them and from previous messages about the seller my opinion is it is a risky thing to do. Just my opinion. ............lm

They look shite! And, allegedly, don't fit well. These are, I believe, originating from the get-rich-quick-and-let's-cash-in Asian source.

The more we buy from them, the higher the prices will soar. We should all boycott these bastards! There is a few who price their parts reasonably, but those who place an extortionate BiN price should be avoided; otherwise you might as well take your pants down and bend over to them.

I found these mufflers on ebay a few weeks ago. The guy had 4 and no one bid on them so he sold me just one pair. They're very similar to the mufflers I've been running, but they're brand new. If you could see the old one on the other side of my bike, you'd understand why i'm changing them(chrome flaking off). The mounting tab need is going to need to be moved 2-3 inches forward, otherwise it's a pretty good fit.

If anyone is interested in the other set, I can give you the guy's info. The other set has one mounting tab broken, just at the very end near the hole. His price was reasonable ($60/pair) and shipping was very fair.
