             Jeff, my suggestion to you is to stay with the stock system to 
avoid problems down the road.  Say for instance your on a trip and something 
breaks, you cannot easily replace a part as you will need to get the part 
from S&S but if you have the stock system you can get the parts from most 
auto parts suppliers.  I believe your in Winnipeg and I have the pipes in 
stock here in Almonte, Ontario that you need at a good price, see my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm">Vanagon 
Items Forsale</A> webpage.  I also have the <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm">STEBRO/Vanagon 1.9 Stainless Steel 
Muffler</A> which is warranted for life and reduces back pressure and increases 
performance.  I can also supply all the support rods in stainless steel if 
you need any of them, info & prices on the STEBRO/Vanagon webpage.  The main 
muffler support rod comes with the STEBRO muffler.  Hope this is of some help 
to you.  Contact me if you need more info.
