There are two major things you will need to get a replacement muffler from
VW. The receipt showing you as the original purchaser or shop receipt
showing you are the first owner (including VIN). Second and the most
difficult to overcome is that there are no longer any dealer exhaust parts
available except the brackets and gaskets.

Subject: Original vw muffler lifetime warranty?

I recall hearing here (Dennis Haynes?) that if you have an original wv
muffler with the stampings, it has a lifetime warranty and they'll replace
it? This seams way too good to be true but just discovered I have a totally
rusted out muffler with the original stampings on it, so if this really is
the case.....
How do I get a replacement?
