I had my downpipe flange go on me a few years back. After messing with 2 piece universal units I ended up going to the Midas Muffler across from my work. He took a one piece flange, cut it with a torch, slipped it in place and then rewelded it. Cost around $30 total and has worked ever since. James B
BTW - my 87 16v GTI is still for sale, email me if interested. I have it listed on VWVortex with full details.
