Not having utilized the oil cooler unit on my oil filter, I would have never
known that the 1.9 exhaust would not fit on my 84 Westy. Otherwise,
the 1.9stock exhaust has worked in a most excellent fashion on my
2.1 for the past 8+ years.
 And no, the oil does not run hotter despite the Westy being loaded up for
full-time living (almost 7 years now) and pulling a 1000lb trailer once in
awhile :-)
