Schweet.  That was exactly the answer I was looking for and should help
Bryan R as well.  Cat or no cat, header or not, it has to bend somewhere 
and it's good to know an affordable source for 2 & 2.5" exhausts.  They 
also have some other nice looking hardware.

But now, weren't the bigger stock [A2 GLI/16V] exhaust parts 55mm 
(2.16") so if you want to use one of these with that you still need to 
keep looking or accept a compromise?  I can't remember.

Guess that's done.  Nice job and thanks.
Now can you show me an A1 with 4" pipe anywhere on the net?
