Easiest power modification

[wdkingery]

speaking of which, what about the mid muffler thing? i'm concerned mine is clogged, and recently, my pipe rusted out right in front of that thing, and the car instantly became OMG loud. i mean, i've cut mufflers off all my cars for the past 18 years, and this thing was loud.

could i cut that mid muffler off, and just put a flowmaster back at the back? or what?

Can you find that exhaust manifold on a '82 Rabbit LS gasser?

Here's what ETKA pulls up for that year:

this comes on rabbit gassers, and some early diesels..

this manifold only fits on mk1 cars..

Sure would like to have either a part number or image of the 8v GTI exhaust manifold.
I have heard of "8v european gasser crossflow", "gasser" and now 8v GTI manifold. I have searched on the net, on the forums, ebay, but have yet to find one. What I currently have on my 1.6L NA pickup is part number 067-253-033, which has cyl 1 and 4 together and cyl 2 & 3 together. The outlet holes appear to be about 1 3/8 in diameter. I have a TT 2 to 1 downpipe. Runs ok, I am just wondering if I have the optimum setup for a 2 1/4" exhaust system.

Did you ever find a 8V GTI exh manifold? Take a look at this post, scroll down to Vanagonner's post, there's pics there. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=474748

Is this the one?  

this is a mk2/mk3 manifold..

it wont easily fit on a mk1 without an expensive custom downpipe..
