Installation Notes

Compatible With 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, N/A and 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, N/A. The OE system was a welded assembly, so AP Exhaust recommends replacing all noted parts in the affected section during service. Verify vehicle year and exhaust configuration before installation. Part number 7448 should be matched to the existing welded exhaust layout for proper fitment.
