The Beetle is an international car. Beetles were assembled in Brazil, Mexico and Germany. Parts are made in lots of different countries. Quality parts are made in other countries besides Germany, but when it comes to exhausts, Brazilian and Mexican aren't exactly as good, but are less expensive. We carry both for Bugs. Our German mufflers are usually Leistritz, an OEM manufacturer. They are EXCELLENT. Never a problem.
Our Brazilian and Mexican mufflers are very good; they will last longer if you drive at least 10 miles when you run your car. This will get them hot, and burn the moisture out of them. This is particularly important if storing the car for the winter. If you only have to drive it 100 feet to the barn, push it or let it run until it is hot before you store it!

We sell GOOD Muffler Installation Kits. There is a difference. You can buy JUNK muffler installation kits for a dollar less and they will give you an hour's worth of hassle. Dealing with professionals like us who know what they're doing can save you 10 bucks on a Brazilian muffler that will work fine but we know not to sell the JUNK install Kits because they are not as good. If you deal with the typical mail order company they don't know the difference.
Contains clamps, gaskets, sheet metal screws, nuts, bolts, etc. This is an absolute must when replacing the muffler.
