On the contrary. Depending on your application, the TT system with a
resonator with the flowmaster would be the better choice of the two. =
IF you
have a mildly modded 8v then go for the dynomax, but if you are =
planning or
have anything over a 1.8L 16v or highly modded 8v the dynomax won't =
last you
long at all. I've built a few 2.0L 16vs and each one blows the =
dynomax
within days. I coulda got a bad batch but I kinda doubt it!
For the money, though, a good shop could make a decent system and =
might cost
you the same for stainless than TT would charge for aluminized. HTH!

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
with a Dynomax muffler
and the
253.323F TT Exhaust 2.25 1984-1987 Scirocco-8V w/ Flowmaster
$260.00
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,
