I would not wire-brush the rust off the exhaust. I think that will actually
decrease its life. There's been a lot of discussion about various POR
(paint-over-rust) products on the list, but I'm not aware of any product
that will definately hold up to the temps of the exhaust. My approach: let
it be until it starts to disentigrate (which is right now) and hope that
Stebro comes out with a stainless system for the Vanagon.
