How's the Dynomax muffler?

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

I think not, Bubb.  So, what your saying is that the installation
compromised the dynocrap muffler three times in a row?  Plus, the dynocrap
comes WITH the TT system and goes on ONE way?  C'mon man, who's not using
their brain now!!  I never said the 16v had SO MUCH MORE backpressure, just
that you 8v guys seem to love the pieces of junk and I couldn't keep them on
either one of the 2.0L 16vs that I built (and it had nothing to do with the
installation since both systems were TT).  Could of been the odds, but those
are freaky odds man!!  Still doesn't describe the hundreds of junkers I
replaced for free and the muffler shop! Think and do what you want because
this is just my opinion.  If you didn't want both sides then whoever asked
about the muffler wouldn't of asked.
