well, I would make my own of course but the general idea of removing 
the 'S' tubing and replace it with a 'l' tube.

hrm, well damnit, as an 8v I hope it has the 4->2 exhaust manifold, 
and I got this really sweet tuned downpipe to a 2.25 collector I was
going to use for my long-ago abandoned G-60 project, it's even got a
place to install an oxys sensor on it! But I don't want to install a 
header (noise) and if you say not to go above 2" I could just keep
the cat-back 2" ? I wanna use this thing, it's just sitting in my 
garage!!!

the suspension is great , and it's an automatic so no shifter 
bushings..but it's just that after driving on my koni's, there ain't 
no going back! this car is like new, bought it from a  mechanic/ 
friend who's givin' his approval on it, and I trust this guy 110% on 
VW's. As he did all of the service on it for the past 5 years.

well, no, I know my 8v stuff, remember I have owned one for the last 
6months..just never driven it (see below) I just never kept the 
hop-up info.

umm no, the Cabriolet is replacing it so out it goes! hoorah!!!! I 
just hope some dumb, nieve, crazy person actually will want to buy 
it! Damn I'm a 3 VW car household now! ..this is getting cool!

fuc|< no! the shop it's been collecting dust in still hasnt found 
anyone, I gave them till Jan 1 to hire someone competant, and if not
i'm pulling it or they better contract it out. Kinda good in a way, 
since I have't paid for it, I was able to buy this Cabriolet!
