Will this tail pipe hardware kit fit my specific Vanagon model?

Yes, this tail pipe hardware kit is designed to work with 1975-1991 Type 2 Bus and Vanagon models, including both 2WD and 4WD variants, and regardless of transmission type (automatic or manual).

What exactly comes in the GoWesty tail pipe hardware kit?

The kit includes all the essential hardware for attaching your tail pipe: one gasket, three copper nuts, three long bolts, three short bolts, and six flat washers. It's comprehensive for either the OE muffler or our stainless steel muffler.

My original exhaust bolts are seized. Can this kit help me install my new tail pipe?

Absolutely. We understand that OE muffler bolts can seize. This kit includes longer bolts specifically designed to replace any OE hardware you may need to drill out, making installation much smoother even in challenging situations.

Is this hardware kit compatible with both the original muffler and GoWesty's stainless muffler?

Yes, this tail pipe hardware kit is designed to be versatile. It includes all the necessary components to securely attach your tail pipe whether you are using the original equipment (OE) muffler or the GoWesty stainless steel muffler.
