As I posted earlier, it took a week just to locate the part and at one point I had discussed with the machanic the possibility of taking the old pipe to a muffler shop and having them fabricate one to match. I don't believe he ever pursued that option since VW did come through with the part. PVC is on the brittle side and that would concern me since the pipes are exposed to potential collisions with road debris. -- Jerry Huff huff@dg-rtp.dg.com (919)248-6277 Data General Unix Software Development RTP, NC 27709
