Subject:      CHEAP Vanagon exhaust repair

Just thought I'd let you folks know that there is an easier (read, less
expensive too) way of repairing your rusted Vanagon exhaust. One of the
pricey exhaust tubes was rusted out in two places on my Vanagon. On a whim I
went to a muffler shop for an estimate. Guess what the damage was? $30! They
welded a crack near the flange and actually inserted about six inches of
custom made pipe into the area that was rusted and welded it up! Cool or
what?!?!  Now the Mystery Machine is running quiet again!!
