Steve, being the main promoter of t=

Exhaust System I have to jump in here.=
The STEBRO Muffler for the 2.1 litre
waterboxer engined Vanagon i=
s constructed of 100% stainless steel, comes with
integral mounting brac=
kets and tailpipe, all needed gaskets, stainless steel
mounting hardware=
and a lifetime warranty. This muffler is made with a "flow
thru" =
design, there are no baffles in the way of the exhaust flow, therefore
t=
here is a decrease in exhaust back pressure and an increase in engine
pe=
rformance. I think if you check your prices carefully you will find th=

the STEBRO price of $275 USD delivered to your door is a bargain. &nb=

also a 5% Vanagon List Member discount which you must ask fo=

your order. Please visit the STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel Exhaust Syste=
