I went to a local exhaust shop for prices on a full 2 1/2" exhaust on my '86TSI.   He said that he could not attach to the pre-cat because it is set up with a 2" flange.   I will buy a 2 1/2" downpipe for "Off-Road". but need the pre-cat for emission inspection.   Is this exhaust shop full of crap or should I just get a cat back system and then get the downpipe with an extension to get to the new cat?

Now that I've found out how much the damn thing weighs I want it GONE, anyone done this?   Thanks   Andrew

Here are some things you can do to keep your car running cooler. 1. Get your radiator rodded, usually $40-$50. Your radiator is over 12 years old and it's probably nasty.   Rod Out - Rodding out a radiator means to remove usually one or more tanks from a radiator and to insert a flat rod, which is smaller than the width of the tube, into the tube by pushing that rod through until it comes out the other side of the radiator or core.This is done repeatedly through all the tubes in the radiator.
