Jeff, if you check the archives, myself and others, have written extensively on this subject in the past so all that finger typing is not needed again. One recomendation though, check my _STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel Exhaust System_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm) webpage before spending any money.
