A caution.

Often, exhaust systems are designed to utilize the free air to help keep
them cool. It does pretty well as long as the vehicle is moving right
along, but get slow or stop and the heat is not carried away but
collects in the engine space, making it mighty hot. It is all a trade
off. If you wrap the exhaust with any kind of insulating material you
are going to really cook the devil out of those pipes when running at
power - which is the time you really want them to be cooling in the
breeze and getting all that heat carried away. The exhaust system will
burn out much, much sooner than if simply let exposed to the ambient air.

So be careful in your choices on your Vanagon.
