Subject:Re: Stainless Steel Exhaust for 1980 Vanagon?

To the best of my knowledge Stainless is not worth
the money.  Just to expensive, and some systems are not
good quality.  For the 1980 air cooled, there is a cheap aftermarket
that replaces everything from the heater box out.  I had a few of
these over the years.  Check the J C Whiney catalog.
