He lives in Apple Valley and I think James might be able to take care of that for you (he lives in hesperia) Capt This is what im dealing with ... Im concerned that the soot in the pipes will contaminate the weld, will that cause an issue ? Also, any one know of a good vw type 3 exhaust ? most of the exhaust ive seen are for type 1 VW's and the headers would pre heat the air going into the cooling fan of the engine since its in the front. I would like to replace what i have, but cant find it any where. Would this work ?? http://www.mooreparts.com/store/product/977/AC251103/ Edited May 14, 2009 by SandBurro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had that shop at least since the early '70s. He has a bad a$$ off-road jeep he takes to Dumont. You probably need to support it better, probably why it cracked.

I hope he is decently priced for repairs. A new exhaust is only around $140. Does he give discounts for DDR members :praying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will pay with money or beer. Didn't see the part about the decent prices or discounts for DDR members in your post but did see the part that says "but can't find it anywhere" so not sure what $140 will get you. Never heard anyone complain, he built my exhaust on my truck 15 years ago, got the Magnaflow for my MOHO from him and he's a half block off the main street thru Victorville and don't think he started charging for estimates. But you have other choices here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
