Title: 1.6 N/A Jetta Exhaust
Post by: SolarSteve on June 20, 2009, 11:59:45 am

My Jetta (1.6L N/A) exhaust system is shot.  The previous owner removed the resonator and installed a section of straight pipe.  The down pipe, the straight section and the muffler/pipe assambly are all rotted through.  I have ben asking local garages how much they charge to replace the system, but they are all very expensive.  I can do the job myself but so far the only place that I have found that sells the down pipe and muffler assembly (I can get the straight piece at a muffle shop) is the VW Parts Place catalogue and they are pretty pricey for exhaust pipe as well.

Does anyone know of a company/web site that sells MKII diesel exhaust systems at a resonable price?

Thanks

Get the downpipe used and have an exhaust shop weld up the rest? A friend of mine just had his done downpipe back on a mk1 for $100. You can use any resonator, perhaps get one from summit or a local shop. How big do you want to make it?

I'm just looking for the downpipe and the muffler/pipe assembly.  I will clamp it together and then weld it up myself.

I have been pretty unsucessful at finding a source for these two parts.
