Overview

The CSP Stainless Exhaust is a muffler designed for 1200cc VW Beetles, Karmann Ghias (Type-14), and Buses manufactured between 1963 and 1979. Constructed from 1.4301 stainless steel, this absorption silencer offers a quiet sound profile similar to the stock muffler while providing an unobstructed path for exhaust gases. It is suitable for engines with 12-1600cc displacement (34-50hp) and a single-channel preheating system.

This exhaust system includes a comprehensive fitting kit with clamps, gaskets, screws, and nuts for heat exchanger/J-tube mounting. It is engineered in Europe and aims to improve engine breathing and potentially horsepower when paired with matching exhaust pipes.

The CSP Products Stainless Steel Muffler (CSP251001034B) is a premium exhaust component engineered for a range of classic Volkswagen vehicles, including the Beetle, Karmann Ghia (Type-14), and Bus models equipped with 1200cc to 1600cc (34-50hp) engines and a single-channel preheating system. Produced from durable 1.4301 stainless steel, this muffler offers enhanced longevity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring it stands up to the demands of classic vehicle use. Its construction is designed to be a direct replacement, fitting Beetles from 1963 to 1979. This exhaust system utilizes modern absorption silencer technology, which differs from older reflection-based designs. This approach allows for an unobstructed flow of exhaust gases, reducing backpressure and enabling the engine to breathe more freely. The result is improved cylinder charge and combustion efficiency, potentially leading to a gain in horsepower and overall engine performance. This kit includes various components such as reinforced clamps, thrust rings, graphite gaskets for heat exchangers/J-tubes, exhaust flange gaskets, and preheating flange gaskets. It is also compatible with standard and aftermarket tailpipes and standard Type 1 style J-tubes or heat exchangers, offering flexibility for different setups. CSP Products are known for their quality, and this muffler is made in Europe. This muffler is specifically designed for models with 1200cc engines from 1963-1979. The fitment details indicate suitability for VW Beetles, Karmann Ghias (Type-14), and Buses with 12-1600cc (34-50hp) engines featuring a single-channel preheating system.
