Ok for real, Something like this quiet enough for you?
It has a silent idle but when you get on it you hear it.

The pictures are from a B5 99 or so Quattro, I think. Mine's a 97 FWD. My clamp was located further back from the flex joint, but no big deal, it looks like the same part.

Image sauce is audidiy.com

Those bolts are the ones that I spun in two with a 1/2" drive breaker bar. I think they're 15mm, maybe 17. I forgot.

Here's a link to the article that I am now attempting to follow.

I don't have the time or energy today to remove the front wheel and driveshaft guard.

Life sucks.

Haha, that's not exactly what I had in mind in terms of dB It actually didn't sound too bad though, especially with the sound reverberating off all of those warehouses.

Yeah, I no longer have those two clamps. That's probably why the flepipe failed in the first place. Annnnd... thank you meinike for doing a crap job replacing the flexpipe and attempting to MIG it back in.

Thanks for the linky. I'm going to definitely use that for reference when the time comes. The service manual CD should also help.

You will find motivation on the weekend no doubt. Venti-sized coffee on a saturday morning usually does it for me. Then beer as the day goes on ftw!

The clamps (plural) are actually just one clamp. There is a single piece of steel, with a seam down the middle, and the two clamping devices are attached to it. Its actually just one piece.
