was: Magnaflow = P.O.S. now: other mufflers

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

I just disinstalled the Dynomax Ultraflow Z (the SS version TT used to sell) 
from my 16V. It had become so loud I'm sure I have permanent hearing loss 
from it. It was great when I got it 3 years ago, but just kept getting 
louder, and when there's an international border involved in your return, 
you don't return stuff until you really can't stand it. (And I couldn't 
stand it) It looked really nice when it came off though! So I pick up the 
new Borla in March when I go down to get the cabby. I've heard nothing bad 
about them, but for that price they'd better be damned near perfect.

The other good thing about this is that the headache got exhaust work done 
when Klaus got his new sytsem, so there can't be any jealous misbehavior. Or 
that's the theory.

Cathy, trying to keep both children feeling loved, LOL
1979 non-S (Klaus)
1987 2L 16V (the silver headache)
and some other stuff, curse that "car of the month" club!!!
