Hi chaps. I've decided that I'm going to chop my '73 beetle (just love hot rods I guess), but will be needing a bucket load of advice. Firstly, exhaust wise. I want to go for a set of bug pack mega dual cannons (from aircooledvw) but it says that they don't allow the use of heat exchangers. I'm new to cars in general but especially air cooled, so, what does it mean to not have heat exchangers?
Cheers
