Hello folks, My bus is in need of a new exhaust, So I had pretty much decided on new heater boxes, and the four tip GT monza style exhaust system from bus boys. ( 210-25023 Exhaust System with 4 Tips $87.98 at http://www.bus-boys.com/performexsyt.html#replace . However, I just found this article, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vintagebus/message/17007 , i t warns about the dangers of getting carbon monoxide in the cab when using non factory exhaust systems, Basically, the argument is that exhaust systems that dump exhaust straight out the back rather than out the side, deposit carbon monoxide into the turbulent air behind the bus, where it is sucked back in through the engine porthole and other holes and vents. What do you folks think? Is this a valid theory, or should I just bolt on my four chrome tipped system and not worry about it? Thanks folks, Greg, 82 Vanagon L Westfalia.
