New beetle or old beetle? and are they pricey? I'm using the exhaust gasket that came with my BBK. I still have the stock one as well.

the VARI IS HERE!. Going to bolt that sucka on late tonight once im done work and ill snap some pics. then we see if the Elite will live again.....

Wairing for the vari, probably in the mailbox just caught up in the crhistmas rush. Once I get it it will be on like donkey kong
