exhaust replacement and 16v sighting (long, sorry)

[CHRISTOPHER FRYER <alienj@usa.net>]

alright, i finally got a rocco! (for $700 oh yeah!) its an 85 wolfsburg
edition stock 8v as far as i know. but it needs shocks and a muffler and a few
other little things. now i have never replaced a muffler on an a1 car, ive
done the exhaust on my 87 vanagon though. so since its 16 years old, should i
just replace the whole exhaust? or should i just do the muffler and check the
other pipes while im down there. if i go the whole exhaust route should i go
for performance? how much is that gonna run me? and do they sell stock specs
parts? sorry about all these questions but i just need to get this done so i
can find out what else to replace (too loud to hear anything else if there is
anything else) its got around 110,000 miles on it (though odometer is broke,
anyone on the list fix these?) so this is the prev owners guess + 10,000 just
to make sure. so what should i look to replace on my mk2. i dont need it as a
daily driver untill late august, should i replace the head gasket? valves?
anyway, onto the sighting, black 16v mk2 and the drivers side front tire was
flat, saw it in clifton park ny (20 miles north of albany), i drove by late so
i couldnt see more
thanks so much
