I just acquired my first Vanagon. My girlfriend and I were planning a trip around the country and started investigating appropriate transportation. We considered every option - truck, conversion van, mini-van (yuck), renting an RV.....etc. But, none of them felt right. My buddy in college had one and we had some really good times and adventures in it. I never considered it for myself, though. After much research, I fell in love with the idea. Although my girlfriend and I may be breaking-up, I still had to have the Vanagon. So, hear I am. This is my first project car, and I'm not terribly mechanically. But, I'm not too much of an idiot, and after seeing all of the support from the Vanagon community I'm excited about my new hobby. Well, my 1988 Vanagon needs a bit of work. The major, single investment will be in completely replacing the exhaust. I'm torn between price and performance. Any recommendations and advice on purchasing S&S Headers (or other aftermarket) verse an more expensive OEM exhaust? Thanks for your time and hope to contribute to the list serve when I gain some insight on how these things work. Todd
