        Then get the performance downpipe from TT.  You should have the twin
outlet manifold already, and Techtonics claims that the gains from a header
are minimal and don't outweigh the longevity of the stock set up.  Plus it
is like $135 and rids you of the flex pipe between the downpipe and the cat.
        I have the whole TT exhaust on my 1980 'rocco S and like the
performance.  The only problem I encountered was the bolts loostening up at
the manifold/downpipe joint and the downpipe/cat joint.  These were solved
using new hardware and lock nuts. Strongly recommended.
