I have two options for the 1.9L Vanagon, an original-equipment style system
from Dansk and an aftermarket system from S&S.  Both run $299.95 sans cat.
S&S claims minor performance advantages over the stock system, and feedback
I have heard confirms that they may improve performance *very* slightly.  On
the other hand, I personally feel that the original system is the more
durable of the two and therefore would probably be the better value in the
long run.  The Danish-made Dansk pipes are easily equivalent to the
originals and seem a bit "beefier" than the S&S setup.  Personally, I'd lean
toward the stock system, but not all would agree, I'm sure, which is why I
offer both flavors.
