[Vwdiesel] Exhaust-How much is too much?

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

I am running a 2.5" in my 98 Jetta and it is more than adequate and  
just BEARLY fits under the car.  Remember that the flex joint is  
ABSOLUTELY necessary for the exhaust unless you want to be replacing  
the pipe again and again.  The cat will also have to stay in line but  
the connections to it can be disconnected as they are not used any  
longer and were superceded by latter ECU changes.  hayden

"Dictatorships all have common factors:  a government controlled by  
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
