I've got  a slightly rusty tailpipe and our muffler needs replacing
(pardon my  French!)  Is this a difficult job to undertake?

Our local VW parts  dealer has a stock muffler for about $150 and the
replacement tailpipe for  about $15.  I saw the previous thread about
high performance exhaust  and .. well, we just want the stock exhaust.
This is no performance vehice  :-)

Tina & Yoel, for your consideration please see  my _STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless
Steel Exhaust System_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm)  website.  I
offer a complete stainless steel  muffler with integrated tail pipe and
mounting brackets.  This muffler  assembly is guaranteed for life and will outlast
your vehicle.  If you need  to replace your muffler, related gasket, the two
OEM mounting brackets, bracket  straps and tail pipe you will quickly see the
cost of the STEBRO/Vanagon  Stainless Steel Muffler is not that much more than
others that will soon rust  away again.  I also have available the J-pipe and
header pipes in  stainless steel if needed.
    Changing the muffler is a pretty straight forward  job and the most
difficult part will be to remove the old muffler.  If it  is difficult to remove
the top bolt on the muffler to CAT connection the best  way around this is to
remove the CAT with muffler by undoing the CAT to J-pipe  connection as it is
easier to get at if you need to cut the bolts loose.
    There is a 5% Listmember discount on orders over  $50, please ask for it
when ordering.
