Paul,
  Which Beetle used a tangential muffler? The only one I have seen had a
stamped tubular housing across the back of the car and two pressure bleed
tubes out the back. Inside I seem to remember a straight perforated tube.
Was there a tangential model as well?

The pipes from the engine entered the tubular housing across the back of the car on a
tangent. Don't confuse the tuned version we have been discussing with the unturned 
version used by Tracy, Dave and the VW. BTW the interior perforated pipe has
been found to be unnecessary.
