None present on my 1988. Reading this archive post: http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind9808E&L=vanagon&P=R4862 it seems these parts help keep fasteners tight when heat/cool cycles happen. Thank you Dennis! I had no idea what purpose they served. Archives suggest they're NLA. I guess by now, people aren't using them Have people found any issues (fasteners coming loose?) using just bolts, washers, nuts, at union between manifold outlet and J-pipe inlet? Also.... the "copper" nuts people refer to in exhaust installations. Are these the Cadmium (I think) plated stover nuts?
