They make headers for gas Rabbits. It'll fit just the same but vibration
will likely crack it. Don't know of anybody that's tried one for sure to see
if it does though.
Next best thing would be the manifold, downpipe and maybe accordion
pipe from a 1. Rabbit diesel (and gas too I think). It's free enough flowing
that it was listed as a budget upgrade for the later ones, if you didn't want
to buy a header.
Unless you live in the salt belt you really shouldn't need SS for your
exhaust. Every diesel around here still has the original exhaust unless
it's been up-sized. None have been replaced from rust and that includes
Dad's '70 220D which has spent quite a bit of time sitting off and on.
