my bus is a 77 and it apparently uses a specific exhaust for 75-79 models... it has 3 bolts on the connectors instead of the 2 bolt pattern...

I tore into it tonight and need the following...

a left (drivers side) heat exchanger (I found one on bus depot yesterday for $149 and think I will get it if it is the correct one) and then I also need the complete exhaust from the exchangers back to include: crossover pipe/elbow, muffler, tailpipe, hardware/gaskets and the cat converter...

The other options I'm seeing is a "extractor" exhaust, but those eliminate the cat converter and we have emissions inspections here in alaska and need to be able to pass the emissions tests... My 74 super beetle passed the emissions test and as far as I know it didn't have a cat converter on it... so I'd think the van "MIGHT" be able to pass without it? you think?

I can get a extractor for $100 or less US and then the heat exchanger for $149 and that about covers my money...

on the other note, I am willing to go with the "J" tubes, and get an alternate heating method for winter, IE: a gas heater of some sort... Kind of looked yesterday at them in walmart, but am thinking more of a "camper heater" but those will probably be expensive and then need to lug around a propaine bottle...

any ideas would be awesome, as well as links if you can...

WOLDORF, those are awesome and good priced, but are the 2 bolt style and I need the 3 bolt style, if you can find those, it'd be awesome... I can't read German, so I'm clueless what the eBay listing said...

Thanks for the help guys... Jered
