I have replaced my diesel muffler with the original equipment part. In light of the fact that the muffler was not expensive (by VW standards) and lasted over ten years, I am not sure why you would want to consider another muffler. Remember that the diesel muffler has to withstand a lot of vibration, and muffle that famous (infamous?) diesel roar. I am not sure a generic muffler is up to that.
