Will this Exhaust Kit fit my Vanagon, and what models is it compatible with?

This GoWesty Exhaust Kit is designed specifically for all 1986–1991 Vanagon models, including 2WD, Syncro (4WD), and both automatic and manual transmissions. It does not fit earlier 1983–1985 Vanagons. If your Vanagon falls within the '86–'91 range, this kit will provide a precise fit.

Is the stainless steel construction really durable, and what kind of warranty do I get with this Exhaust Kit?

Absolutely! This Exhaust Kit is made from high-quality stainless steel, meaning it’s built to withstand the elements and resist corrosion, even in harsh conditions. While the stainless steel may show some discoloration over time, the structure is protected by a limited lifetime warranty for your peace of mind.

Does this kit include everything I need for installation, and can I install it myself?

Yes, the kit comes with everything you need: a stainless catalytic converter (choose 47- or 50-state compliant for your location), muffler with tail pipe, saddles/straps, gaskets, hardware, and detailed installation instructions. GoWesty also provides a YouTube installation video, making it accessible for dedicated DIYers. If you have basic mechanical skills, you’ll find installation straightforward, but professional help is always recommended for best results.
