performance exhaust options?

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

can you use a resonator from a gaz engine on a diesel ?
As for 2.25" on an 8v, I have done that from the downpip to the rear, it
does improve alot of the powerband.
I removed the resonator myself.. I like it when the engine growls when I
floor it, I just cant wait for the 2L to be there to growl a little louder.
I decided aginst big name bands, too much money for what it is worth, I when
to a shop that does custom muffler and they did from downpipe to rear
including the muffler (already had the 5,9L ford cat, muffler being a nice
thru-flow muffer) for less than 200$ all isntalled like I wanted it, the
guys at AAA mufflers where geniuingly inetrested in my ideas, and were a
blast to work with.

=>It's the season for upgrades for the TD Scirocco, and exhaust is on the
=>short list.  Currently I'm running a custom downpipe that has a 1.75"
=>outlet into a straight pipe which runs back to a stock 8V
=>over-axle pipe.
=>From there it runs into a 2.25" "tip" that's about 24" long (in
=>place of a
=>rear muffler.)  It's a little loud under hard acceleration, but the turbo
=>keeps things relatively quiet most of the time.
=>
=>My goal is to increase the entire system's diameter to 2.25".  I like the
=>idea of using a stock centre pipe from a 16V (or the equivalent from a
=>performance cat-back system)  The mid muffler will give me some
=>silencing,
=>and then I can continue to use a straight pipe behind the axle.
=>
=>What would people recommend for this piece?  Do systems like Techtonics
=>sell only the centre pipe, or are they kits that include the
=>muffler?  Any
=>anecdotes about fitment and build quality would be appreciated.
