It is common that the welds and pipes on the Vanagin Diesel muffler rust out before there' seven a speck of rust on the muffler body itself. If this is the case with yours just weld on new pipes. Alternatively just find a good quality aftermarket muffler with the same dimenstions and weld on the mounting brackets from your old muffler and bolt back up. /m -- Westy 1.9l Turbo Diesel Quantum 1.6l Turbo Diesel Martin Jagersand email: jag@cs.yale.edu Computer Science Department jag@cs.rochester.edu Yale University Slow down and visit the VW diesel Westy page: WWW: http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/jag/vw ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
