Midas Muffler offered lifetime warranties on their aftermarket muffler for
vanagons, & I compared that to the oem muffler on my 84 & they seemed
identical in detail/weight, etc. so I bought one years ago. It held up for
about 12 years & finally I replaced it w/ 1 from Busdepot after I got tired
of it rattling loose & having exhaust leaks in the pipes & connections, but
that was not a fault of the muffler, but i think the lack of the support
brackets which had come off. In any event over the 12 years I had it into
Midas for numerous fixes to the exhaust system which Midas performed, but
no problem w/ the actual muffler. They usually charge you for new
bolts/flanges, etc. however.

YMMV,
