I looked at both as well as all of the other options Cip1 offers and I can't tell much difference, either, so go with your gut and get the AKKT model. I wish we were closer - I have a Monza-style one in my shop attic, taking up space, although that might be a little louder.

Usually, the only differences are thickness and quality of metal used to make it and that explains why the Brazilian and Mexican models don't seem to last as long - they're made of thinner metal.

BTW, few, if any VW mufflers were made in Germany, which is why they always say "made in Europe" not Made in Germany on them. The Dansk ones come from Denmark, Spain and Belgium (among others).
