As per  the guidelines  (http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4672), it's a good idea to update your profile with your location, so that folks know shipping location, currency, etc.  :wink:

I bought parts over a period of 4 months as I had extra money,
but the parts alone were $800.
BUT, there is also not a single mm of the system that is not SS... it was all TIG welded (on our Mig spot welds we used 308 SS wire!) , and has 4 V-Band fittings. (Those are usually 50-75 ea for all SS) and even the inside of the flex is SS (I bought 2 "Stainless steel" ones before I found one that was stainless inside, too...)

I will never have to think about exhaust again.

And I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, either.
It is just what I did.
I would have totally bought a Jetex or Magnex turbo-back SS system if they only made it.

Great, price, BUT....
$700 for SS turbo back,
But I am thinking it is not 3",
and I am thinking it does not have 4 V-Band flanges ($200 minimum),
and if it has a Flex section, I am guessing it is not SS..

I am not trying to beat it up, it is a good price for custom SS exhaust,
but why spend $700 and go 80% of the way to perfection?
If I could have bought that, I would have in an instant!

But I did not know,
and now I have what I have...
(A $1000 exhaust on a $2000 car!!!!)
