Does everyone have an exhaust system with some sort of flex joint?
The reason I ask is, I don't.  Just a 2 to 1 downpipe from the cast
Euro GTI manifold straight into the cat.  It's been fine for about
30-35k miles.  With the exception of the front poly motor mount, all
the others are stock.  I do have the brace from the block to about the
mid point of the downpipe, but nothing else.
