Headers (for the last damn time)

[aaron at plosive.net (aaron@plosive.net)]

Got to buy a couple headers, one for my DD and one for my Love.
I've been searching around and even posted here and got some good
recommendations, etc. but now it comes to crunch and wallet time. My
final questions;

Is there a Pacesetter or some other cheap header for the 16v 1.8? All I
can find from pacesetter is for a 1.6 or 1.8 8v... There seems to be
confusion on this tho because I know of at least one website/catalogue
that lists the same part for 16v's :

Anyways, I need something cheap for the DD.

For my other scirocco though, I'm looking at a couple of things ATM and
need to make a decision ASAP, because its already in bad shape and
sounds like a tank. Repairing it is out of the question. I've had the
thing welded and rewelded so many times while putting off a new one that
its finally unapproachable and not worth it.

I'm either going to get the techtonics tri-y, but I've also seen the
autotech tri-y.
In either case I've got to get a Cat too, and TT's match for the tri-y
is 200$'s ... That's nearly 700$'s when shipping and everything comes
into play. I could shoot myself for missing that tri-y for sale at
vwvortex a couple weeks ago =[ The Autotech one is a good 50 bills
cheaper and I've seen a lot of good written about it on the list
before.. But I can't find that they sell a cat.

Half my problem is, I currently have no cat,.. And the shock absorbtion
shit between my current header/downpipe and the center exhast is totally
makeshit (welded flexpipe straight to the downpipe and center ex.). I
figure I can have a garage replace the makeshift flex and put the cat
there. I need a Cat anyways for exhaust testing soon. The centerpipe and
muffler is the 16v setup by Supersprint.. So I'm not 100% sure of any
pipe-diameter problems I might run into with either of these Tri-Y's .. 

So yeah, my header is busted on my roc, I have a makeshift flex,.. And I
need to salvage all this and get it done right so I can slam it and not
worry about breaking my new exhaust or cracking my manifold. Blah blah
blah... This is getting depressing!
