Subject:Re: Need to replace Muffler and Tailpipe on '91 Westy

It's not that hard of a job. Most of the work is in removing the old
muffler. You might also consider getting the new muffler and tailpipe
ceramic coated to help prevent rust in the future. Depending on where
you get it done this can add about 100.00 to the cost of things. This
can add as much as 6 times the life but near me on the east coast it's
more like 2 or 3 times. Either way it's worth it in the long run to me.

(pardon my French!)  Is this a difficult job to undertake?

Our local VW parts dealer has a stock muffler for about $150 and the
replacement tailpipe for about $15.  I saw the previous thread about
high performance exhaust and .. well, we just want the stock exhaust.
This is no performance vehice :-)
