Bosal Beetle exhaust

[jmvv]

I needed a replacement exhaust for a customer's Beetle, and while phoning around for prices, I heard the Bosal still supply Beetle exhausts

Step two involved getting onto Bosal's website and lo and behold, they still list the exhaust.

To make a long story short, I ended up with a complete Bosal exhaust system for about 60 percent of the prices quoted for the chinese imports

[calooker]

The last time I checked these dudes wanted around R1000 just for the silencer.

[jmvv]

I got prices from various "Beetle Suppliers" of R1500 for the silencer, R350 for the pea shooters etc

The whole shebang came to just under R2000, and I thought it was a bit steep.

I got the Bosal for trade cost, and as I don't want to screw others who make their living fitting exhausts, I wont publish the prices, but it was nowhere near R2000.

No secrets, us average Joe's like to know things as they are, so I got some prices.
Silencer R873
Pee shooters R75.60
Clamps R110
Gaskets R23
VAT R152
Total R1234

Guys, will this fit a 1200 engine 62 beetle?

Rui - where did you get those prices and do you perhaps have part numbers?

Thanks

I don't have part #'s i had prices from a supplier last year, probably gone up by now.
You need a 1200 specific exhaust this one will not worke, the last time I checked, a imported 1200 exhaust was R1600 just for the silencer

Tx, I am sure the pee shooters should work or do the 1200 engines have the the smaller ones? Mine are rusted...

not entirely sure, but we fitted a silencer last @ Supa Quick
Ours has the Chrome Pipes, the non-pea shooter type.
The Heater boxes etc.. are shot tough ...
so will need to replace the whole she-bang this time.
Sounds like it may have a hole again at the silencer - Chrome pipe exit

Something aint right there, a 1200 exhaust is not the same as a 1300, the 1200 engine is narower

[Muderick]

Calooker is correct... its rather unfortunate that the young fella that updated the website does not know that the 1200 exhaust and the 1300 have a major size difference.
