Thx Tod,

As it turns out I bought this thing with a header on it. No flex joint built
in. With the seemingly worn motor mounts allowing the engine to flex the
exhaust so much, I can't keep the sections tight. So I'm left with a loud,
leaky, exhaust setup. Surprised it hasn't cracked somewhere already.

I'll look into the Stainless for the early series, The first lead I've heard
of for that age car.

General comments on recent topic: Deciphering A1,A2,A3

I drive an '81 Scirocco, A1, Mk1. If I ran an '82 it would be an A1, Mk2.
Don't have a cow. Peace to all of differing opinions. Having A1=Mk1 and A2=Mk2
is ridiculous. It is up to us humans to define what we will, If it (the
standard) didn't start out that way, then that beginning is a footnote now and
we press on. That's how it is to me.

Love, peace, and bearing grease,
TBerk
