Although not a WBX, I installed a Walker Quiet Flow 2.1
cat/muffler/tailpipe on my Jetta engine conversion. Very quiet.

They have a $40 rebate on right now (til end of May??)

I applied last year for this. Fairly quick turnaround for cheque to arrive.

Working from this page:

It looks like the 1.9 cat/muffler/tailpipe/2 gaskets are available.

Neil.
