> When, not if, I have to replace it, I'll be going with stock...

I'll chime in with all of those who have recommended the stock system, even
though I do sell the S&S as well. The stock system generally fits better,
lasts longer, and is quieter, and is my personal choice on my own Vanagons.
While the header system claims a slight performance advantage, I have never
noticed it in real-world driving.  We sell the stock setup as a complete
kit, which saves you a bit of money.  Don't forget to key in referral code
list1e    on checkout to claim your additional 5% Vanagon List Member
Discount (which will largely offset the shipping cost).
