VW doesn't make the stainless steel ones anymore (because, guess what,
they rust out) you can still get the 86 and up plastic ones --- along with
a kit that plumbs them into an 83.5 to 85.

The SS pipes that Terry sells are not what you need at all. He is
selling a repair kit to fix leaks in a section of the pipes. It only
includes the rear ends of the very long stock pipes. To install Terry's
short pipes you cut off the rear ends of your bad pipes and splice his
pieces in with short hoses. You need the full pipes instead since you
don't have any to cut.
