   Martin-
           I am in the process of procuring all the
   parts necessary to put a TDI into the back of
   my vanagon. One thing I have been stuck on is the
   new exhaust system. You used to have details on
   your website about the exhaust system you used with
   you 1.9 TD conversion, but I cannot seem to find
   these anymore. Can you help me with a couple questions?

You need to bookmark that separately since I haven't linked it yet.

   How did you mount the muffler you used?

Se pic's

   Is your exhaust system welded together or does
   it incorporate flanges and flex joints to join

Slip joints and standard parts as mentioned in the previous
postings you refer to.

   the SS tubes you bought (I hope I am remembering
   the discussion about your stainless steel pipes
   correctly)?

Dynomax never made good on the SS parts, and I finally gave up after
lots of phone calling, letters and wasted time. Ended up
using the aluminized stuff they sent me under pretense of
being SS.

   Do you have any vibration problems from either
   your exhaust system or from the stronger 1.9TD?

Used stock rubber pads to mount the muffler. No vibration
from exhaust. Stock motormounts are marginal, but I don't have
anything better.
