I need to repair the pipe on a 36 hp heater box, the end that connects to the muffler is rusted off.
After taking the heater box apart, it looks like a j-pipe inside.
Wolfsburg West has the repair pipes, but I am wondering if you can just use a standard J-pipe to replace the internal completely.
Just thought I would see if anyone has done this and if they can recommend the right j-pipe to use for a 36 hp and where to buy it.
thanks so much for any info! Joe |

IIRC the standard replacement j pipe has the wrong bend in it.
If it is rusted just at the end, I weld on the repair piece to it near the front where the metal is still good. |
