  On the contrary.  Depending on your application, the TT system with a
  resonator with the flowmaster would be the better choice of the two.  =
IF you
  have a mildly modded 8v then go for the dynomax, but if you are =
planning or
  have anything over a 1.8L 16v or highly modded 8v the dynomax won't =
last you
  long at all.  I've built a few 2.0L 16vs and each one blows the =
dynomax
  within days.  I coulda got a bad batch but I kinda doubt it!

  For the money, though, a good shop could make a decent system and =
might cost
  you the same for stainless than TT would charge for aluminized.  HTH!

        First no Flowmaster!!!! My 1979 MK 1 had a two and a half inch =
custom
  system with a Flowmaster on it and it was loud to the point of =
obnoxious. I
  don't mind a muffler that is loud when you are on it hard but this was
  ridiculous. I had my muffler man take it off and replaced it with a 14 =
inch
  generic turbo muffler which lets you know it's there when you get on =
it but
  is reasonable enough to drive around town with out ----ing off every =
cop.
        I just don't like wrestling around under a car with a rusted =
muffler
  setup. Around here the custom muffler shops can fit you a two and a =
quarter
  or two and a half inch system for less that you can buy one from the
  performance mail order shops and you just stand around for half an =
hour then
  drive off with the new system.

      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

      with a Dynomax muffler

      and the
            253.323F TT Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V w/ Flowmaster
  $260.00

      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,
