TT is a very good system, they make quality parts and normally make sure =
you get most everything you need for installation. I've never knowingly =
heard a Dynomax muffler, I do currently have a Flowmaster and it sounds =
pretty funky. As for quality, the dynomax is a decent muffler, the =
flowmaster might be a bit better, but unless you are looking for a bit =
better flow/sound/etc, then I would say go with the less expensive =
alternative.

Subject: New Exhaust System Advice
A couple of days ago my '84 8V Scirocco became very loud while driving =
down the highway. I pulled over and checked it out and the exhaust pipe =
split in half a couple of inches in front of the muffler.
I'm currently considering replacing the whole exhaust assembly =
(factory original) from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe with one =
of the kits by Techtonics Tuning. This will be the first time I've =
every tried any kind of exhaust work, so I'm assuming these Techtonics =
kits would be pretty simple to install.
I'm current considering two different assembles, their 253.323 TT =
Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V $205.00=20
with a Dynomax muffler
and the
253.323F TT Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V w/ Flowmaster =
$260.00=20
with a Flowmaster muffler.
What kind of difference is there with two muffler systems? In other =
words what would I expect to see between a Dynomax and a Flowmaster =
muffler other than price?
I'm I going in the right direction with this exhaust system =
replacement?
Thanks,
