Walker Muffler Co. (big name in exhaust stuff) makes an after market muffler for at least the '84-'85 models that is aluminized, lifetime warranty (! I think I'll be collecting on this one), fits perfectly including metric threaded bolt holes for the mounting flanges, and best of all costs about $80 bucks (via Champion Auto Stores). I've had the muffler on about 2 years now and everything looks fine. Our VW dealer here in Bemidji found an aftermarket header pipe system that they use (meaning it's less expensive for folks) but I can't remember the price -receipts at home tho. I haven't seen any stainless stuff.
