need to replace the muffler/tailpipe/strap on my '84 1.9l-- rust finally
overwhelmed them.

looking at BusDepot, they have a $93 euro made OEM and a $141 Ernst German
made.  searched old posts (god i love searching gmail rather than trying to
search the official archives) and saw one testimonial in favor of the Ernst
("quieter, heavier").

i'd of course like to save the ~50bones if the benefit is marginal, but
could definitely be talked into springing for it if someone's got data on
distinct performance or quietness gains.
thanks in advance for any shared expertise or reco's!

hope everyone's having an awesome summer-- before the rust out the old girl
has been providing excellent beach access for whats been an above-average
kiteboarding season so far!   take care/shiva
