OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

5 of 5 Nice Fit September 27, 2015
Reviewer: TX-73 from TX  
Full restoration on a std 73 bug, using CB Perf maxi oil pump and filter.
I had concerns about fit after trying a muffler from another company. That one didn't show any damage but wasn't even close to fitting.
Aircooled was very responsive, great service to my questions/concerns. This muffler fits fine and with the right hand pre-heat does clear the pump and allows for easy filter changes.
