I was  talking with the folks at S&S Headers today and they are interested  in
bringing out a version of their header system for the Vanagon in  304
Stainless Steel.

    Volks, there already is a complete stainless steel  exhaust system
available for all waterboxer engined Vanagons.  See my _STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless
Steel  Exhaust System_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm)  and _Vanagon
Items Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpages.  I have
spent countless hours and dollars over  the past eight years getting these parts
to market.  Why reinvent the wheel  ?  Beyond me.  Once you get involved with a
redesigned system you will  be locked into them.  If a part fails and is not
repairable while on a  trip you will have no choice other than wait for
compatible parts to be shipped  to you.  With my system all parts are OEM spec
dimensions and are  interchangeable with any OEM quality parts.  You will never be
stuck  waiting for parts unless you choose too.
