The <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm">STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel Muffler and J-pipe</A> and DANSK stainless steel header pipes from the Bus Depot will out last anything else you can put there and they fit just like the OEM parts. In fact, the muffler with its integral mounting brackets and integral tail pipe are a way better set up than the OEM set up, just because of those two issues. Complete stainless steel system on my '87 Westy is now over five years old. Driven daily all year in Ottawa salty roads climes and the only sign of degradation is to the flanges and support brackets of the DANSK headers as they used mild steel flanges and support brackets for some crazy reason ! The recent DANSK headers I have received from the Bus Depot have stainless steel brackets but not the flanges.
