Re: [T3] Exhaust

<x-flowed>Sure thing.
It works OK.  Actually the first EMPI header I got for a VW used that stuff.
Do try to keep it from actually touching the header pipes as it will burn, 
but it's about the best thing I could find.  Some headers actually have 
metal tubes attached to the header pipe which are really my favorite.  I 
believe this size hose can also be used in place of the short rubber 
connectors which connect the fan housing to the "macaroni-like" mix-manifold 
for the heat exchanger and "bleed air" from the front of the heat exchanger 
(can you follow this? perhaps you don't have this part on your car anymore . 
.).  BB
