richpin06a says:

@hp11208 No he stop driving the beetles a long time ago

richpin06a says:

@farmboy30117 Aw come on give it try…..lol

Tapicero111 says:

so at 19:20 the heater box part doesnt have to slip inside the riser holder
and then tighten clamp? does it get a good seal by just clamping the small
gap? just wondering because i cant quite get it inside either but it looks
like it should!

Summercatxo says:

That was awesome! Now come over to my house and change my muffler please! :

Omar Chisolm says:

@richpin06a Totally off subject but on the 98 saturn sl1 im getting this
clicking/ticking noise as i accelerate from a stop, and sometimes it sounds
like its coming from undernieth the car(muffler/cat), and then sometime i
think under the hood(hopefully not) I think its under the car butbeing that
ur the master at these cars any ideas? Must i use premiun gas instead of
regular? I have 193,000miles on this baby.

richpin06a says:

@Summercatxo What’s in it for me.

richpin06a says:

CarAndTruckTalk says:

Is that the Herbie the Love Bug car? I used to love those movies as a
kid… ahhh the memories ….

richpin06a says:

@CarAndTruckTalk Yes i believe Herbie was a 1963

farmboy30117 says:

great video! I’ve never worked on a VW before and after seeing this, I
don’t think I want to! LOL

CoolasIce2 says:

Good vid. How does heat get into the passenger compartment? Does the engine
cooling fan blows air around the muffler and into the pass compartment? If
so, what if the muffler has a hole rusted thru it? The exhaust gases will
go the passengers too.

richpin06a says:

Ok let’s pinpoint this a little closer.Do you hear the clicking noise when
the car is parked and engine running.

Matt Black says:

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU taking the time to make this video!!!
Fitted my new exhaust system yesterday. Your helpful video was so
intuitive, clear and full of helpful tips. I took my iPad into the garage,
would watch a few minutes and then copy what you did. Not only have you
saved me lots of money but more importantly, I achieved something for
myself. Iโ€™ve really enjoyed working on my 1967 Beetle and canโ€™t wait to do
the next project. Thanks again ๐Ÿ˜‰

Austin Mcdougall says:

i really appreciate this video but quick question i have a 1972 vw beetle
and my grandfather has some partsfor a 1974 and i need a new muffler could
i use the 1974 muffler for my 1972?

richpin06a says:

No the heater box does not go inside the small exchanger there is a gap and
the band clamp fills that gap.

beefystik says:

Way to go VW. You made cars incredibly hard to work on 30 years before
anyone else. At least the cars were terrible in the winter.

richpin06a says:

The 1974 California muffler was made for the EGR system non 74 cal.
mufflers were the same as 72.

richpin06a says:

@spelunkerd After the first hundred you do not even notice.

richpin06a says:

@michaelovitch No i am not being sarcastic i think it is very good idea
have a before and after.

richpin06a says:

@rich52490 speedaire quality stuff bought it new in 1978 and i have worked
it hard over the years without a major problem just reed valves.

dieseldolittle2 says:

@richpin at 8.03 13mm carburettor wrench – interesting way of modifying
your own tool. I’d like to know, if I was to do this, how much heat, whats
the best way to do this

richpin06a says:

The EGR is right at the base of the carburetor in plain site if you have
one.

Ben Corcoran says:

@richpin06a another beetle to work on! ๐Ÿ™‚

Matt Pfeifer says:

Great video! Thanks to your work here, I was able to remove the old muffler
off my 72 standard, and replace it with a new one!! I didn’t even panic
when the bolt broke off, right where you said it might! I was able to hear
Jack “fweem” for the first time!!! ๐Ÿ˜€ Keep up the great work! numberdevil1

jorologo says:

What is your opinion on EMPI GT 2 Exhaust Mufflers ? Do they fit easily ?
Can they be fitted to the original heater boxes ? Or would i need J Pipes.

Tony Thatcher says:

theres a classic

richpin06a says:

@beefystik I enjoyed working on them over the years i have a 1956 of my own.

richpin06a says:

I love the old beetle.

JoelsBackYard says:

Awesome video, thank you Rich for taking the time to make these videos to
show us all. I love just watching them so if I ever run into jobs like
this, I’ll know the RIGHT way to do it before I even see the vehicle!
cheers! ๐Ÿ™‚

rich52490 says:

Nice vid, what kind of air compressor do you use?

michaelovitch says:

@richpin06a No offense ,but, is it sarcastic ?

michaelovitch says:

Very interesting. As usual. May i suggest you to let us hear the sound of
the engine at the ends of your vids. we can have an idea of the difference
before repair, after repair and it ‘s a bit more exiting : )
