what is  the best quality aftermarket stainless exhaust system for my
1986 syncro?  and what online vendor carries the parts?

Dan, I believe I am the only one who can  supply a complete stainless steel
exhaust system for your Syncro.  See my  _STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel
Exhaust System_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm)  webpage.  However, you
will certainly notice that  the front header pipe for the Syncro is unavailable
in stainless steel and that  some have chosen to use the 2WD front header
pipe and lower or remove the rear  portion of the bush guard to allow use of this
pipe.  But, I can let out a  small secret today, I will soon, as in a few
week, have stainless steel header  pipes with stainless steel flanges, that the
DANSK stainless pipes lacked, for  all waterboxer engines 2WD and Syncro.  I
finally found a company to  manufacture these pipes and have placed my first
order and should be recieiving  then shortly.  Stay tuned !

Cheers,
