I am going to reinstall the engine this week, (a 2.0l 914 engine) and I now have an opportunity to add a four tip, dual Monza muffler that came off of a 914 that was set up as a racer. The racer met it's demise in a barrier meets nose of car collision.
My concern before I do this is the research that I did today. I read in serveral posts that some of you guys had Monza exhausts and switched them out.

These are a couple of threads that I read. The price on the muffler can't be beat (zippy), there's a little surface rust, but nothing that can be cleaned up and coated. And it sure beats the standard bus exhaust that I have on there now. Is there any reason why I should not move forward with the Monza exhaust? Is is bad performance? Bad sounds (I removed the audio components to hear the engine)?
The exhaust will clear the glass without having to cut or weld anything... just bolted right up. Should I have a go at it?
I also painted the newly fabbed tins with heat resistant red paint.
