...If it is a 1,600 up to a 1,776 you, too, could run a stock VW muffler like this:

Dansk, in the Netherlands, made all of the mufflers for VW Beetles for like, forever, so if you've heard an old Beetle, that's what'cha get. Nice and quiet, just like your video.

@Gordon Nichols I've intended to follow your recommendation because it was stock, simple, quiet, and quite inexpensive. But since your post last Nov, the kit's been out of stock. CIP1 said it would auto order, but today they told me that Dansk itself is out of stock, and CIP1 probably won't have it for another 2-3 months, minimum. Maybe pandemic related?
However, there are also:

These both seem very similar to the one you linked, I'm assuming they're all interchangeable and you happened to just link that other one? I'm keen on ordering the former link (VWC-113-251-053-AKKT) which is currently $135. Seems pretty straightforward, I'm just asking in an abundance of caution, because why would they have different variations? The CIP1 gent helping me wasn't sure why this was the case himself...
Ps, it seems the difference between these 2 that I just linked is that the former originally comes as a kit whereas the latter is a kit that CIP1 groups together from separate parts (you'll see it parted out when added to cart). CIP1 said that's probably why the latter is more expensive than the former. So it pays to shop your options...
