What specific exhaust components does this hardware and gasket kit include parts for?

This comprehensive kit provides all the necessary hardware and gaskets for installing seven major exhaust system parts on your Late Vanagon: the headers, collector elbow, J-pipe, catalytic converter, muffler, and tailpipe. It's designed to cover the standard setup for a complete exhaust replacement.

Will I have extra hardware or gaskets? My vanagon exhaust might be slightly different.

It's common to have a few unused pieces with this kit. Vanagon exhaust systems can have minor variations depending on the original manufacturer and specific model year. We include hardware and gaskets for all common configurations to ensure you have what you need, even if a couple of items aren't required for your exact setup.

What is the main benefit of buying this exhaust kit instead of sourcing parts individually?

The primary benefit is convenience and confidence. This kit bundles all the essential, high-quality hardware and gaskets needed for a complete exhaust installation, saving you time and the hassle of trying to identify and source each individual piece. It ensures you have the correct fitment for your Late Vanagon exhaust system.

Is there a diagram or instructions included for installing the exhaust hardware and gaskets?

Yes, this kit comes with a diagram and a location key to help you identify each piece. We also provide PDF instructions for the installation process, which can be downloaded from the product page. This makes the installation of your new exhaust hardware much more straightforward.

Needed it

Feels good having new gaskets and replacing the completely rusted bolts. had to saw the old ones out.

All parts fit just like factory. No problems

Exhaust Hardware gasket set. I love that everything you need is in a single kit. I do have a tip for anyone interested. I use anti-seize on all the unions and fittings. I use on all my vehicles, so when you need to replace individual components, you simply loosen the clamps and use a dead blow mallet to separate the defective parts. Has no effect on O2 sensors. another great item by GoWesty. R/Jeff

Has Everything!!

Not packed containing original fasteners! Original heads came with studs, not bolts, and were eas...

I don't recommend this as it is easier to buy your own, and get the same hardware!

Hi Ben, we respectfully disagree. The original cylinder heads featured studs on one side and bolts on the other. Our hardware kit is accurate to this original set up. Perhaps someone added studs on your heads at some point. Regardless, we do appreciate your feedback and of course your business.

Everything you need!

Great kit for all your exhaust needs!
