  I have had really good results with these guy's mufflers.  I have one
right now on my inline 1.8 liter VW/vanagon that's gone about 40k miles so
far.  Stainless. 12" x 4" oval, mounted "on edge" across the back between
the motor and the bumper with the pipe coming out like a standard
vanagon..Sounds nice and flows well.

 For a while I used a lot of  Borlas on my big motor car, but they kept
blowing out and they refused to warrantee them for a race car. Plus those
Borlas were outrageously expensive to last only a couple of races, but they
were one of the few makers with a product suitable for a 3.5" diameter
exhaust system.  I switched to the Magnaflows and had no blow out
problems..now I use em when I have a custom exhaust done..

  If going custom is your plan, you might take a look at the Magnaflow
site.  I have no connection with them.
