Just a reminder that for '86 and later Vanagons (except for the front pipe
if you have a Syncro), I also stock the pipes in Stainless Steel. You can
buy a whole Stainless kit, or just one Stainless piece at a time. The price
is about 1/3 higher than mild steel, which isn't bad considering the
difference in longevity. And since these are direct OEM replacements, they
will interchange with your existing pipes. This means that if you don't want
to do the whole system right away, you can replace the pipes with Stainless
ones "piecemeal" as they are needed. Eventually you'll end up with a whole
Stainless exhaust, for not much more money, and you'll be set for quite a
while.
