HEY!  It's only temporary!  :)  Rest assured the 86 will be up for
sale after it's served it's purpose...  (George, start saving your
pennies!  :D)

I'd rather not weld anything - this exhaust is for the 75, but I was
hoping to use it temporarily on the 86...

Yeah, there's a Flowmaster on it right now.  I hate it...  That and
the hollowed out cat make the car sound like ass...  A spectator at an
autocross I participated in recently called my car the "Titanium
Scirocco"...  I don't know if it was a compliment or not...  :)

Hmmm, I may just replace the hollowed out cat with one of the TT race
downpipes I have lying around, and buy a Borla muffler for it...  I'd
rather spend a few bucks on a muffler than spend a frustrating day
trying to make the Mk1 exhaust fit...

Thanks for the info Dan, much appreciated...

Later,

Mark.
