Anyone running either of these?
The one has Kardon on muffler and a 2-bolt flange, The other looks like an old Empi Extractor, but it has 3 bolt flange.

The one with a 3 bolt flange is a Treuhaft header.

those 2 bolt kadron exhausts are awful. take off the muffler and look at how they "merge". I'd be surprised if they flowed as well as a stock exhaust.
I ran one for one 300 mile trip, because I had no other option. it wasn't solely the exhausts fault but it was the worst 300 miles I have ever driven in a vw. as soon as I had the chance to fit my proper exhaust, I took the kadron off, jumped on it and threw it in the bin (even though I had paid too much for it 5 days earlier). |

I had the Kadron on my car for many years. Nice sound. Not too loud. But Poor design. It finally rusted out and when for scrap. |

When the Kadron exhaust system first hit the market I sold two or three of them a week for almost a year until everyone seemed to be selling them. At $29.95 that should tell you how long ago that was. For the price you pretty much got what you paid for (a cheap exhuast that was loud).
