[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 477492, member: 240"] A lot depends on how long you intend to keep the vehicle and what kind of use it gets. For example, living in London and using the bus every day, doing a lot of short runs, the stock exhaust supplied by VW lasted between 18 months and two years. After replacing three, a stainless one cost more than double but lasted 15 years. The one I had was made by Midas and had the small boxes over the pipes like the original VW unit. I have no idea if they still make it though. It's downfall was that, although the main box was stainless, the main pipes were steel, as was the return pipe for the pre heat, which is what rusted through after 15 years. I haven't used the ones suggested (I have a VS) but they look pretty good and appear to be all stainless (no bits to rust) and if Alex at Heritage reckons they are good then I would be confident in buying one.
