Exhaust Work

Post by david.valeri »

I broke the welds on my cat at the track this weekend. I don't think another "direct fit" will survive any better since my header and exhaust don't line up perfectly.

Got any recommendations for an exhaust shop in Northern VA that can fabricate me one that fits perfectly?

Dave,

Haven't found anyone yet, but I too am looking for this for our Mk2 (it has a massive exhaust leak and too much rust for a direct repair). Let me know if you find something good!

The car is at Whitey's Automotive in Chantilly based on recommendations from two folks who have used them before. They are going to clean up and weld the cat together where it broke, build me a test pipe, and install a flex pipe into the header so it doesn't happen again.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

probably too late, but I have a sweet stainless test pipe you can have.
