English-to-German help needed

I have used different translators on-line but in this particular case I would appreciate a more precise translation.

I e-mailed BAS about their exhausts for a Super Beetle with a Type 4 engine, and asked specifically which one exits through a stock Super Beetle apron. (I don't want to get a wrong German word for exits, through, stock, and/or apron. The question I may end up asking might be fodder for a German sit-com.)

Their response was to go to the "Typ 4" area of exhausts on their "webside."

Well, that's how I got their e-mail address. I'm sure it was a nice reply they gave me, and they just didn't fully appreciate the detail of my question.

In equally nice terms, I would like to let them know I did go to their site but I was unclear as to which exhaust model number exits through a stock apron, if any. (Looking at the pictures, I'm not sure one does. Yet, there is a picture of an exhaust in a Keith Seume book that is supposedly a BAS system.)

There is a nice thread going about exhausts, and I don't want to hijack it -- especially since a Remmele was posted as being available. Someone may be able to use that, or comment on some of the other posts floating about in that thread.

(I'm not interested in the Remmele because I'm in the fact-finding stage of that conversion.)

Anyway, anyone who wants to help me prepare a German response, can PM-me or reply here. Thanks.
