If you want one that works properly you will most likely have to do some fab work. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit. (The mass media age) |

Yeah Fabd some up already. Didn’t quite do all my homework before I did. Just welded some old heat riser flange right where the exhaust flange meets the engine. Now I’m reading a bit more. I see there’s some technical aspects. looks like back to the table it is. I wonder why they even make the exhaust with the flanges where they are on the ones I’ve seen online. |

2 reasons come to mind, maybe 3. First off is cost, it costs more to make them right and it's a competitive market. Secondly most performance minded guys go dual carbs and don't need them. Lastly, today's stock'ish vintage VW buyer has either never driven an original VW or has only driven hacked examples and has no idea that they are not supposed to run like a turd that fell off the manure wagon. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit.
