Wonder if that is a typo or did autocorrect change VW/Audi into "Toyota"?

Is it me or did you post this on a different forum, or something in the last few days? I'm sure I saw someone post the same part with the same typo lol just a couple days ago

Taking a look under the car tomorrow to verify the exhaust leak and order the part.

Anyone want o give me some hints or tips on replacing the exhaust?

Looks like a flat 3 bolt gasket up front and the funky long clamp in the back.

Are the bolts easy to get to up front? Guessing I will replace them with new stainless parts. (Not that I expect the car to outlive the exhaust, but if I don't the gasket will leak 2 weeks after the bolts are rusted enough not to come off.)

It is a typo, autocorrect or copy and paste error on the company's web site in the fine print description.

Ok, this link shows the part: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Exhaust-Pipe-w-Dual-Catalytic-Converters-Left-LH-for-Passat-A6-2-8L-V6-/370883697638?hash=item565a641be6&vxp=mtr&rmvSB=true&rmvSB=true
What am I missing? the other link is not an Ebay one.
