Subject:      new muffler question: BusDepot offerings
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

need to replace the muffler/tailpipe/strap on my '84 1.9l-- rust finally overwhelmed them.

looking at BusDepot, they have a $93 euro made OEM and a $141 Ernst German made. searched old posts (god i love searching gmail rather than trying to search the official archives) and saw one testimonial in favor of the Ernst ("quieter, heavier").

i'd of course like to save the ~50bones if the benefit is marginal, but could definitely be talked into springing for it if someone's got data on distinct performance or quietness gains. thanks in advance for any shared expertise or reco's!

hope everyone's having an awesome summer-- before the rust out the old girl has been providing excellent beach access for whats been an above-average kiteboarding season so far! take care/shiva
