Jason ... let the lad find out himself
he's convinced the paint on the outside will stop it rusting so quick.

My last plea ...save your money and get a stainless.. in the same style.

otherwise good luck

i know kev , i was trying to pass on my experience, sometimes people gotta learn the hard way i spose

They're ok if you blow torch them first. I once threw one in a bonfire to save time years ago. To be honest they might just as well send them out with a coat of wood varnish for all the good it is

do you know what ..im not asking you to fit one to your van??all im asking is do they fit..and as for rusting had same zorst on my bug for 2years ..and still looks good,all they need is some frost vht paint ..

Hey steady there. Its reasonable that people offer their opinion even if you want to do your own thing (which I'm all for). They can be fun for a while, bit like zoom tubes etc and they can sometimes make for a cheaper replacement. To be fair, we're not against them but the paint on them is still poo

That said, I avoided the can but the pipes last a good long while of looked after. I used to like the sound of the Monza on bugs although regretably they don't last too long. You're quite lucky in having the earlier system like me as that gives you many more options than later exhaust systems. Rear apron can pose a few problems though.

The bonfire reference was about getting the paint off prior to applying VHT by the way - saves £4 on a gas cylinder for the torch.
