In my experience there are just a couple of areas where these mufflers seem vulnerable: along the bottom seam, and the lower input pipes. Those lower pipes could even be painted on the inside as well, but I don't know how effective the paint will really be at those temps. Sounds like you're going to test this for us. The only problem with this, that I can see, is that we won't know the results of the test for years. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
