[Vwdiesel] exhaust sound

[raymond greeley]

Hello nick and fellow vw enthusiasts, we may have discussed this before and 
i apologize. as we speak, I am noodiling through, up grading my 91 jetta td 
exhaust. making the same 2 1/2" down pipe you mention. I felt that
i would order a new gasket for the existing down pipe to use as a template 
for the flange on
the fabricated pipe. this is a daily driver and so this way i could make the 
pipe, install it and
drive down to my muffler guy without any down time.that is of course if i 
can get the old down pipe housing bolts out. Just so i don't have to 
reinvent the wheel again is there a better progression or approach to this 
task. thanks, ray
