i am in agreement with those = who say go at it one at a time - if it ain't broke don't fix it!
however, i know = the deal you are talking about from Bus Depot

i would buy the entire = exhaust but replace the parts one at a time as they go

that way if something else = goes wrong, you arent stuck junking an entire new exhaust

i'm sure someone on the list = would buy the rest of the parts from you if they are not of use in the = future

STERBO! IF (what am I thinking!? This is a = Vanagon, I live in Wintersaltland... I mean when ) I ever do it again, = it'll be Sterbo. I think it actually may be cheaper, too! Please, just do it = only one more time.

Hey everyone,
Almost the end of the week!! What a relief.
Well the = new '87 vanagon is in the shop yet again.
This time for a new front = header pipe. (obviously
I have not learned how to do all this myself or it = wouldn't
be in the shop). Anyway, I was told by my mechanic that =
though he can just replace this pipe it looks like the
other exhaust = system parts (minus the catalytic and muffler
which are new) look to be = about the same age which means they
could go at any time. I = understand that replacing the others, collector
pipe, 2nd front header pipe = is a major job.
Do you think
A. I would be better off buying parts from = bus depot and having my mechanic
install even though he won't = guarantee the work if they aren't his parts
B. Should I do everything now in one shot to try and save = some money?
I appreciate all your feedback.
Thanks.
