Subject: SPAM-LOW: WTB: Complete (Headers/Cat?/Pipes/Muffler) exhaust for my
Mk1 8V

I came into a large sum of money yesterday, so it's finally time for
me to start making the '80 right.
First on the agenda is a new exhaust to make the noise more bearable. 
(Actually first on the agenda is more wiring tweaks - I was only able
to get a little bit done last weekend.  Why do NO auto parts stores
sell relays?)

I'd like something that will fit right in with no welding so I dont
have to pay a shop to do it for me.  That's probably impossible with
headers though.  I'm not looking to skimp - but I'm also interested in
buying used or not going with the absolute top of the line.  Anyone
have anything kicking around?  Know of any great bargains?  I'm
thinking maybe a TT setup from Peter?

Next on the agenda for the car will probably be putting in the motor
mounts that I've had for a year now and a new suspension with
bushings.  I just want to tighten everything up and make it so I don't
have to apologize for the noise and vibration when people get in the
car.

Hey Grant,

IIRC, you're not that far from me...

The 2" Autotech/TT Borla exhaust is coming off of my '81 S, as soon as I run
it through inspection for one last time. So if you can wait a few weeks, I
can sell you that exhaust. The cat to muffler pipe is aluminized steel made
by Autotech, and it's in great condition and not rusted, because the car
came from California. 
I replaced the muffler with a new TT Borla stainless steel muffler and a TT
stainless tailpipe. It's a little louder than a 2" TT exhaust w/Borla
muffler, since it doesn't have a resonator, but still sounds great. I
installed a new cat for inspection, and I've put well under 5K miles on this
setup, and it's going to last a long time. 

I still have the rough looking, but still working fine Autotech header, that
came on my '83 Rabbit GTI. It was used without a cat, custom one piece 2"
exhaust from the header flange to the muffler, it comes with the flange, but
could still use the header install kit.

I'd sell the Autotech header and the Autotech/TT Borla exhaust for $250
picked up, in Bear Delaware, or $300 with the slightly used cat. If you
want, I can leave the exhaust on the car, so you can hear it, before I pull
it from the car.

Let me know...

Thanks,
Peter
