Re: Not VW, but diesel and relevant

Erik, I have done the can trick, and the manifold is not rusted on the 
inside.  It actually looks new, except for carbon soot.

For me, the mufflers rot from the outside in, so I keep painting them
with grill paint.  [It's handy paint for hams, because it is conductive, 
and works OK on antennas, or so I am told.  No experiments, I just 
blindly follow.]

A new manifold is about $200 from the dealer, and I do not find aftermarket
ones, although I have found a few used ones for $100 or so.  

When I find a friend who is good with TIG and stainless, I will make 
a stainless steel muffler.  I need to do that before I forget my acoustics
for tuning the muffler to the engine and the RPMs.  ha ha
