I had a Stebro SS muffler on my '84, but the connector pipe cracked after
about 15k miles.  Too much vibration for the brittle SS.  Stebro used a
flanged pipe with an asbestos donut squeezed between the flanges.  How did
you connect yours?  I see some of the Subaru conversion vendors have gone to
a slip joint connection (KEP for one) because of cracking.

This last weekend I finally realised a dream of a lifetime :) Yes, I
installed my homemade muffler in my van. Pics and a wee video with sound
