Sorry--I forgot that some states (notably California) continue to require
catalytic converters on the fuel-injected Rabbits.  My '78, bought in
Michigan, contains no converter; the '76 I had before its untimely demise
had the converter's guts removed by the dealer during a n*15000-mile
service because VW claimed that the converter "had no noticeable effect
and was therefore unnecessary."  This was true probably only in the limited
context of states with less stringent anti-pollution laws.
