Hey all, To respond to come of the comments/questions to my email: Hmmm...come to think of it maybe I am using brass nuts instead of copper...the one I used are 12mm, not 13mm, and have this little ring of additional metal on one side...the rung is separated from the nut halfway around, and you're supposed to ping this separated area with a punch to lock it to the threads. This is supposed to keep the nut from vibrating loose. As for the exhaust, it exits through the left side (FIF), right around where the stock muffler exits but the outlet for the Kynco muffler doesn't wrap all the way around the rear apron so the exhaust goes straight out...I'll try to snap a pic that illustrates what I'm talking about. As for price, here's the information contained in Kymco's ad: Type III header: - $ 64.99 raw - $ 124.99 ceramic coated Over the top muffler (single quiet pack): - $55.00 raw - $95.00 ceramic coated Just FYI, their number is 888-321-3560 (standard disclaimer...I'm in no way being compensated for my endorsement here, and your results may vary). Not sure if the coating is inside and out. Toby also asked why I remove the rear wheels when doing exhaust work...well, it's more of a luxury...I can get to the exhaust nuts for cylinders 1 and 3 more easily (no need to lay under the car) if I remove the rear wheels. Just my preference. Have a good evening all :-) -Doug 73 Fasty ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
