First no Flowmaster!!!! My 1979 MK 1 had a two and a half inch =
custom system with a Flowmaster on it and it was loud to the point of =
obnoxious. I don't mind a muffler that is loud when you are on it hard =
but this was ridiculous. I had my muffler man take it off and replaced =
it with a 14 inch generic turbo muffler which lets you know it's there =
when you get on it but is reasonable enough to drive around town with =
out ----ing off every cop.
I just don't like wrestling around under a car with a rusted =
muffler setup. Around here the custom muffler shops can fit you a two =
and a quarter or two and a half inch system for less that you can buy =
one from the performance mail order shops and you just stand around for =
half an hour then drive off with the new system.

A couple of days ago my '84 8V Scirocco became very loud while =
driving down the highway. I pulled over and checked it out and the =
exhaust pipe split in half a couple of inches in front of the muffler.
I'm currently considering replacing the whole exhaust assembly =
(factory original) from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe with one =
of the kits by Techtonics Tuning. This will be the first time I've =
every tried any kind of exhaust work, so I'm assuming these Techtonics =
kits would be pretty simple to install.
I'm current considering two different assembles, their 253.323 TT =
Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V $205.00=20
with a Dynomax muffler
and the
253.323F TT Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V w/ Flowmaster =
$260.00=20
with a Flowmaster muffler.
What kind of difference is there with two muffler systems? In other =
words what would I expect to see between a Dynomax and a Flowmaster =
muffler other than price?
I'm I going in the right direction with this exhaust system =
replacement?
Thanks,
