Just purchased my 1979 VW bus Westy. Did not have a muffler on it but it is a catalytic converter exhaust. Does anyone know where I can find a muffler to work. Is it a different type or can I use a standard.

Is it a California or a Federal FI version?

without seeing a photo of the exhaust you have now it is impossible to know. Do you even have a stock system?

There is a link below in my signature line that will take you to an article on catalytics for late bays. In it are some photos of 1979 buses with exhaust systems. Post back here in this thread a photo of the back of your bus.
