Hi

I noticed today that the muffler and exhaust pipe connection is cracked in
my '82 Vanagon. Before I replace them I thought I would check with the list
to see how to proceed.

The pipe from the manifold is in good shape but the previous owner welded
the end of this pipe to the muffler. The muffler is cracking in several
spots.

Is it possible to use a custom muffler, cut the exhaust pipe, and connect
these together with the necessary connectors, etc. or better just to replace
all pieces with the stock ones?

How about prices and suppliers?

Many thanks in advance!!
