Hmm, it just seems to me that if you are going to use a slave that requires
the transmission to be removed to replace, it needs to last as long as the
clutch itself.

Vanagon exhausts have so many bends and take so much vibration they are all
going to crack at some point, especially SS, which is more brittle than mild
steel.

For a brief time Stebro made a stainless steel system for the Vanagon, and
mine cracked after about 5000 miles.  The pipe connecting to the muffler was
really stressed by the muffler hanging from it.
