Try calling Kyle Wade at the Volks Cafe ((408) 426-1432) for the muffler and catalytic converter, he's got good German stuff that not as $$$$ as the OEM. That elbow pipe that connects to them (the O2 sensor is in this) is $185 from the dealer so I suggest hunting down a used one. Maybe someone on this list can supply the number for one of those "VW dismantlers" that advertise in the VW mags.

To make a somewhat long story somewhat short, the PO installed a one piece welded system (I mean ONE PIECE) at some point and I now have to replace the catalytic converter, muffler, and appropriate pipes as they were damaged in the accident (thank god for uninsured motorist coverage!). So, any advice at all would be appreciated. Especially parts sources, new vs. used, replace the whole thing, etc. Thanks, tony '83.5 wasserboxer
