Overview

Exhaust Pipe, Muffler, Tail Pipe
Album 26085

Original mufflers came with integrated exhaust pipe - Bottom (old) is the factory piece. This pipe was part of the muffler.
Album 22334

The muffler should flow at least 2.2 cfm per flywheel HP. For a 69 hp A12, that is 152 cfm, easily achieved with the factory 1-1/2 inch piping.

Muffler is located just in front of the Rear Axle

Coupe & Sedan have the same muffler location, only the bend shape of the tailpipe portion differs a little. This bend allows the pipe to go over the rear axle.

The body of the muffler is suspended by two rubber rings and contributes to quietness of the exhaust system (there are no rattles from the exhaust).

Tailpipe exits at the rear, below the bumper

Size

Muffler measurements from my 1200 sedan with factory original muffler:

* 11-5/8" Shell length
* 8-1/4" Shell oval width
* 3-3/4" Shell oval height
* 1.5" front inlet, centered
* 1.5" rear outlet, on far left of oval

There is enough room under a sedan that a muffler about 2" longer may fit.

Can Muffler

Hot-dog style mufflers (cannons or "fart cans") are mainly for looks. Having the muffler at the very end of the exhaust makes it louder, and most cans are fiberglass packed tubes ("glass-pack") which are by nature noisy. They are simply a straight-through pipe with baffles in the tube sides.
