       Steve, being the main promoter of the STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel 
Exhaust System I have to jump in here.  The STEBRO Muffler for the 2.1 litre 
waterboxer engined Vanagon is constructed of 100% stainless steel, comes with 
integral mounting brackets and tailpipe, all needed gaskets, stainless steel 
mounting hardware and a lifetime warranty.  This muffler is made with a "flow 
thru" design, there are no baffles in the way of the exhaust flow, therefore 
there is a decrease in exhaust back pressure and an increase in engine 
performance.  I think if you check your prices carefully you will find that 
the STEBRO price of $275 USD delivered to your door is a bargain.  There is 
also a 5% Vanagon List Member discount which you must ask for when you place 
your order.  Please visit the <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm">STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel Exhaust System</A> 
webpage for complete details.  Follow the link on that page for customer 
reviews to see what others have to say about the STEBRO muffler.  We also 
have the J-pipe for the 2.1 litre waterboxer engined Vanagon and a muffler 
for the 1.9 litre waterboxer engined Vanagon in stainless as well.  
       Please note that the muffler offered by the Bus Depot is not entirely 
stainless, only the outer shell is.  The innards, inlet and outlet pipe and 
flanges are mild steel.  It does not come with the mounting brackets, nor the 
tail pipe, nor does it come with the necessary gaskets and mounting hardware 
and it does not carry a warranty from the manufacturer.

Happy New Year��
