twin hot-spot describes the connections between the heat risers on the inlet manifold and the exhaust. Single hotspot means that there are two connections (one each side of the engine), twin hot-spot means there there are 4 connections (2 each side of the engine).
Twin hotspot exhausts/heat risers are pretty rare to be honest, 99% of folk only have single.

I have twin carbs too and have blocked off the heat-risers with these: http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Shop_by_Vehicle~Beetle_Products~Beetle_Exhaust_and_Heating_Products~Exhaust_Gaskets_-P-_Fittings~Exhaust_Gaskets_and_Clamps/AC2512501/Heat_Riser_Block_Off_Plates.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Mark6455 said:
My new exhaust has the heat risers welded up. Not sure how I feel about this though.
my stainless 4into1 header and box arrived from JK, must admit i'm very impressed with the quality and the price was good once i mentioned i'm in a club
if your short on cash then you could get stainless manifold and cheaper steel muffler for upgrading later.. just a thought
edit:sorry just re read your original post and you wanted a bettle style twin pipe.. ignore me!

Currently a twin-hotspot, twin-tailpipe beetle exhaust which will soon be swapped for a twin-hotspot stock bus exhaust.Mark6455 said:
As I run twin carbs I have no need for the hotspots so they get blocked off.
