Re: exhaust

[Jim Buck <vwpride@mixi.net>]

Like Shawn said, the existing header/downpipe combination is a good one,
and 
should be kept on the car.  As far as the cat back systems go, I
personally have found the Pacesetter 16v Scirocco exhaust system to fit,
sound, and perform well for $120!!!  (JC Whitney catalog)  Additionally,
the dual chrome sliced exhaust tips that come on the system will save
another $50-$100 in additional expense.  It is 2 3/8" mandrel bent
tubing too.  Try it, if you don't like it, send it back.  I love mine.
