I'm using a Stebro muffler on my 1.9 85gl and feel its a great
muffler, little louder than stock, but not by much.

I also feel this should last the life of the van, my stocker was
blow with rust and just a complete mess.

It has a nice clear sound to it while running at speed so restriction
is limited i feel. (built well inside)
