Re: Exhaust Problems

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

Can't you get all new TT exhaust for close to that price?  The price sounds
OK for having some muffler shop install the stock stuff for you (which
probably includes a warranty of some sort) but if you know how to make a
house out of legos then you should be able to install a TT exhaust.  Anyway,
if you don't want to work on your exhaust, the price sounds alright but,
like I said, if you want to add a little performance and do the work
yourself you might be able to save a little money.  Isn't there some other
listers close by that could help?  I would if you were in the W. Washington
State area!
