Slightly on a different subject but I read a Click and Clack article where they said too little backpressure would cause the exhaust to rust out of the valves too quickly. That could make them hot enough to melt or at least warp. This true??!!

82 Caddy----- Original Message ----- From: Eric D Singer To: scirocco-l@scirocco.org Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 7:10 PMSubject: 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 253.323TT Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V$205.00with a Dynomax muffler and the253.323FTT Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V w/ Flowmaster$260.00with 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, Eric Singer84 8V SciroccoTrinity, NC
