The list price at the dealer is ~$200. If you get a 20% discount, that brings it down to ~160. It will carry a lifetime warranty that you can collect on if you still have the in 100K miles or so if you need it. You will also encourage VW to keep supplying these things.

Hi everyone,

I changed the tranny fluid in Billy Bones today. No, I did not put my fancy Redline MT90 in there, but I did use generic GL-4. I've got a leak and I aim to repair it before I put in my Redline (parts ordered today). However, while under there I decided that my muffler was bad - those holes were a dead giveaway. How did I miss them when I had the engine out??? So now I have the muffler and catalytic converter off. I purchased a catalytic converter at O'Reilly's, but their muffler is more than about 5 and 1/2 inches in diameter, meaning it won't fit my hangers.

Who sells a muffler that will not only bolt up, but which will alsol fit the brackets?

Any good prices out there?

Dang, I got ole Billy running but I've yet to leave the driveway with him because of one thing or the other. I'm afraid to run him without a muffler. Don't want to burn something up.

Warren 88 Westy "Billy Bones" 87 GL
