Re: [VW-A3-2L] Time For New Exhaust

Get yourself a good performance exhaust. TechTonics is good(what I have) as is the ND/Borla, Autotech and the like. I believe all will get rid of the resonator/suitcase, replacing it with a cherry bomb/glass pack sort of resonator. I have stainless steel, cause I want it to last- 2.25" piping from the cat back with the middle glass pack and ss Borla muffler. Sound is awesome, nice low rumble, nothing obnoxious, and it sings once on full throttle. If you can find someone with something comparable, see if they will let you test drive it. You will be hooked my man.

Subject: [VW-A3-2L] Time For New Exhaust

So yesterday I changed my plugs and fuel filter (1996 Jetta GLS).  While changing the fuel filter I noticed that my exhaust is well on its way to rusting out.
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.  Exhaust gasses flow from the catalytic converter, through the resonator? and then through the muffler.  Regardless if this is the correct nomenclature, both will need replacing soon.
 
So, my question for the lists is:  Do I need to replaced both (can I omit the resonator?).  And what can I put in for a performance exhaust that won't break the bank or sound obnoxious?  Although a slightly meaner sounding exhaust is fine.
