The KEP adaptor kit I'm using is referred to by KEP as a "Rabbit" style kit. (15 degree). So yes, the Jetta engine in my Vanagon is mounted at the stock "Jetta" angle. And from memory, the engine in a Jetta "looks" to be the same angle. Thanks again for the help! I really hope to start "buttoning this up" once I make the exhaust. Neil.
