Discharge pipes going in today! After that, who knows...

Also solved the exhaust rattle… the tech re-installed that cross brace upside down.

same reason when I bought my first VW, I chose the 2.slow instead of the MKIII VR6 because.......wait for it.......insurance was cheaper. I was an idiot

I too was talked out of the Macan swap. Maybe if I run out of other things to spend money on.
