Here is the exhaust system I bought for my 1981 Westy.
I bought it from Chirco.com & it is a Bug Pack System.
Part # CHI2086-10 EXHAUST SYSTEMS Type 2 w/ type 4
engine, header only, 1972 thru 1974/ 1980 thru 1983
$56.95
Part # CHI2575 Single glass pack muffler, type 2, fits
chi 2086-10 $46.95
I bought the glass pack muffler, but thay also have a
Single quiet pack muffler # CHI2576 for $46.95.
Their web site states that the Manufacturer is QUALITY
CHIRCO PRODUCTS, but the boxes were from Bug Pack.
I was very happy with the way Chirco.com handled my
order & it arrived very fast.
The only problem was with the Bug Pack Muffler & that
was not Chirco.com's fault it is a design problem. The
support strap on the muffler was not long enough to
reach where it was to be fastened to. I solved it by
using a longer bolt & putting 12 washers to take-up
the space. My solution seems to work just fine. Check
the pics at the belweb site.

Subject: Performance and/or Stainless Steel Exhaust
for
72-74  and/or 79-83 vans

I need to replace my (non cat) exhaust system. The
systems
on
72-74 buses are interchangable with those on air
cooled
Vanagons. SO I have a few options I am sure.

Does anyone sell a complete Stainless Steel one (ie
not
just
the muffler? Anyone on the list have a good experience
with
performance exhaust? Anyone use S&S Headers? I was
looking
at:

Thanks,
