There are still a few of the STEBRO/Vanagon mufflers available for the
big discount I offered to List Members only so if you need a muffler, nows
the time !
    I need to have your opinion on the STEBRO/Vangon header pipes and
collector pipe that is to be made next.  There are two possible scenarios.
One scenario is to make them exactly as OEM, one set for the standard Vanagon
and one set for the syncro.  This is not a problem but requires more
manufacturing and stock.  The second scenario would be to engineer a new set
that would fit both models.  This would entail more time in engineering but
result in less manufacturing.  It MIGHT also change the possibility of being
able to fit an OEM piece should the occasion arise.  Another question is what
do you think about the cast iron junction piece between the header pipes and
the collector pipes ?  Would you like to have this in Stainless also?  That
would require the collector pipe to be built with it in one piece.  Maybe a
good idea, that would eliminate one connection.  I know I have recently
changed this cast piece on my "87 Westy due to the three flange bolt tabs
rusting away to the point that there was no way to keep the flanges
connected. But, on the other hand, this piece did last the better part of 12
years in my good 'ol salty Canadian climate. STEBRO would like your opinion
on these issues before they go ahead with the pipes.  Please address all
comments to me.  I'll give it a week or so or until the responses quite
coming in then I'll post the results of the survey.  Thanks !

Cheers
