Type 44 Exhaust Flange Replacment?????

[Kurt Deschler]

You can get a 2-piece, 3-bolt VW/Audi repair flange at a good FLAPS for 
less than $15. I got mine at Sanel's in Concord NH and have been running 
it with no problems for about a year. I could not find one with a web 
search, but it is probably because I don't know the proper name.
