Not to Question Authority here but I understand from following the
list fo9r
awhile that a generic $150 cat from Midas/Meinecke/Walker/whoever is
built
to the same spec that the $900 VW cat is. The cat is high on my list
of oem
parts that are not worth the extra dinero.

Bruce,
I agree. At some point there is a breakover in the price/quality ratio
where it's just not woth the extra $$. From a post back in September,
one EV owner had a Meinecke cat installed for $235. He did mention a
slight loss in power especially when climbing in 4-5th gear. That does
concern me, or at least makes me wonder about the flow characteristics
of that cat. I have a $298 quote for an OEM cat from germanautos.com.
The installation looks pretty straight forward (Ha!). I'll seee if the
Bus Depot has a similar or better price.
Thanks, Rod in west Texas
