Hey everybody, I looked under my 00 jetta TDI and noticed that the exhaust is broken just past the catalytic converter.
I used to deal with Honda's a fair bit so I know the exhaust system is always a bolt up type system.
Looking at the image below that I found of a mk4 jetta tdi exhaust, it seems that the cat piece and the midpipe is welded up...is that how it comes from the factory?
So would my best option be is to take the car to a muffler shop and have them just weld back in another pipe connecting the cat and the rest of the original mid-pipe?
I was thinking of getting a used downpipe/cat and bolt it on but it seems like I would have to get the mid-pipe welded onto the cat anyways.
