Hello everyone, It looks like I'll need to replace just the muffler on my '87 Vanagon Westfalia. It has a small rust hole. I've used muffler repair goop to seal it up and extend it's life a bit more on several occassions. But the sealant only lasts so long, and then I need to repair it again. I'm thinking of springing for a new muffler. I've seen 'em offered by the Parts Place in MI, and a few advertizers in Hot VW's for a little over $100. Ron Salmon, do you sell these? Has anyone out there recently purchased one, what did it cost, where did you buy it, how much to ship it, where is it made and is it of good quality. I'd sure appreciate some "experienced" feedback so I can get a decent muffler at a reasonable price. Some other items that I need and would like your opinions on are: a set of Bosch sparkplug wires, a new O2 sensor and your reccommendations on Bosch sparkplugs (stock or ?) for this '87 Westfalia Automatic Vanagon. You can reply to me directly or if you want to share your tips with everyone, then to the list. Thanks for your help!
