Subject:      '79 bus stock exhaust

Hi all. I'm considering buying a '79 bus. I was looking through Parts Place catalog last night, and noticed something peculiar. They sell exhaust systems for '74-'78 1/2 bus, which had no catalytic converter. They also sell exhaust systems for '79 1/2-'83 Vanagons, which did have a catalytic converter. What happened to the exhaust for the '79 bus, which had CC? Are these the rarest things on earth? Anyone know whether the same exhaust w/ CC from the early Vgons can be used? What about '77 1/2-'79 California buses--what do they do?

Also, I've looked at a couple '79s, and they have all had the CCs removed. What is the legality of this? As long as it passes emissions, who cares? Or is it legally required?

Thanks for any info, Rodney
