The Walker Vanagon mufflers aren't stainless. I was told this directly by
Walker. The confusion is that Walker's advertising promotes their mufflers
as being stainless without mentioning that there are isolated exceptions.
The exceptions are a handful of legacy applications that were carried over
from their previous muffler line and are not stainless - the Vanagon
mufflers among them. Some of the larger vendors have erroneously
copied/pasted the "stainless"  bullet-point into their listings for every
Walker muffler from that series without knowing of the exceptions. I should
note that this information is as of a few months ago. It could have changed
since then, but I think it's unlikely because at that time Walker told me
they had no plans to produce the Vanagon mufflers in stainless.
