[Vwdiesel] Exaust

[William J Toensing]

In replacing an exhaust, I think what I would try would get a flex pipe sized to the exhaust manifold or header, then run a copper straight pipe sized to the outlet of the  flex pipe & run without a muffler. Then if to noisy, splice the exhaust pipe with a straight thru or Hollywood muffler. Should be able to do that for far less than $150. Previous discussion on this subject said a turbo would quiet the exhaust enough to be legal. Whether this would work on a NA diesel I don't know. Has anyone tried this? Comments.
