You're both right. The aircooled ('80-83) and 1.9 liter ('83-85) mufflers
are $76 with listmember discount.  The 2.1 liter ('86-91) muffler is a bit
more, at $104.50.  All are stock size/shape OEM replacements, made by
original suppliers to VW.  However, the 2.1 liter muffler that I generally
ship (based on availability; presently plenty in stock) does have a
stainless steel body, making it somewhat superior to the original.
