I believe he quoted a ~2" difference in the center-to-center 
distances. This is too much to make up with bolt slop and probably 
too much to be manufacturing tolerances.

I think they just shipped him a beetle exhaust. The lower heat 
exchangers on a beetle are much closer together than on a type 3.
