Who said I did? :-). It sticks up about 1.5". Low enough that I figure I
can hide it under the westfalia bed by carving the matress a bit.

The install is going very well. Exhaust is done, lots of flow! Glasspack
may be a bit loud. :) Cooling hooked up. Throttle cable modified and
extended. Fuel pump installed and fresh fuel line installed. I've parsed
the jetta wiring harness down to 8 or 10 wires exiting it to be hooked up.
I'm taking pictures and notes and will put the whole thing with critical
info on the web after I get it running and have had a few days off in the
desert.

Have fun!
