Steve,
     Start by hitting the two exhaust head bolts with
rustbuster juice that hold the engine tin on.   Do
this over serveral days.   Remove the tin and juice
the other bolts you may have missed.   Buy some nice
vw brass nuts(at least eight for the heads) and
perhaps a few studs if your's look bad.   Get all the
gaskets and muffler from busdepot but not the tail
pipe.  the headers may or may not need replacing.   I
had mine welded where they looked cracked.   Take your
time and you might consider replacing the waterpump
while your doing the job if it has more than 40k on
it. Use antiseize wherevery you think you may be
revisiting.  gary

My 89 Westy is in need of a new exhaust system. I'm
thinking the whole
thing. Has anyone installed one and how was the
installation.

Steve
