I have those seals, but you pretty much have to take the muffler all the way off to get a new one in. OTOH, those connections have to be REALLY tight to seal, even with the right gasket, and it is unlikely that you have it tight enough yet. There's a special thin wrench that fits in there and most people don't have the right tool. Try tightening it more. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
