That is the reason i have not added a pipe to my Beetle dubby. The way they are hung just leave them wide open to crash damage and they are too expensive to replace on a whim. The way the header is done in two pieces should help it flex and protect it some but there just has to be a better way of doing it. Hope your's is fixable with out to much expense.

you could always raise the radio tray and air intake to the same height as the pipe and have an amphibian?.Sorry mate i know it ain`t no fun when youve got to shell out to fix the bloody things.good luck with the pipe, lets know how you get on.

It was just a high speed fly-by that went out of control
