Another new muffler! (was: My exhaust is driving me nuts!)

[vwnuts@yahoo.com (Anthony Pelletier)]

I am not certain, but I think the borla for the 16v is
longer than the others to help make it more quiet.  I
wouldn't hesitate to get anther flowmaster.  They are
a rugged design, and you probably got the 1 in 100000
thats defective.  I'd give em anther to.  I'd be guess
the borla is going to be louder.  But its just a
guess.  I've had my 50 series df for 2 years & its
still just like new.  I really don't like the sound
under load, but its still there.
