Re: back to stock exhaust...? (jcorallo)
FIRST OF ALL, "ETKA" IS THE ELECTRONIC PARTS CATALOG COMPUTER THAT ALL THE VW DEALERS USE IN THEIR PARTS DEPT. IT REPLACED THE OLD MICROFICHE. NEXT, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION TO THE LUCKY ENGLISH FELLOW THAT WE DIDN'T RECIEVE THE 16V MK3 IN THE STATES. WE ONLY HAD A 2.0 8V & VR6 IN OUR GTI'S. VWOA (VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA) REVISED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN 1996 MAKING ANY PROIR DESIGN UNAVAILABLE. THE FACTORY ONE PIECE IS REPLACED BY 3 PIECES BEING CONNECTED BY 2 DUAL CLAMPS. IN ADDITION, IF YOU REPLACE YOUR MIDDLE MUFFLER WITH A NEW ONE YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO SWITCH YOUR EXHAUST HANGER TO THE NEWER SYTLE.
