Exhausting research (and looking for a small part)

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

T'is true...  My exhaust is a cornicopia (sp?) O' crap from the get-go...

Early dual outlet manifold & downpipe, modified with a (GASP) Jap-crap flexpipe, factory pipe (22 years old and still rusting) from there to the muffler, which is a Brosal unit from a G60, and a not-so-cool tip...  I am saving for a TT system, BTW...  :-)  DIng-diNG no more hopefully...
