Squareback exhaust.

[patmor@utu.fi (Patrick Joel Morton)]

I am interested to know if anyone has any experience with adding a header
exhaust to a Squareback.  The OE exhaust on mine is shot; a replacement
muffler (German) will cost me about $250.00 here in Finland, and
aftermarket (Bugpack or something) is slightly less and in the end will
work better with my planned purchase of 009 ignition and Weber 34ICT carbs.


My concern is mainly with the rear valance.  My Squareback's valance is
perfectly straight and I would like to keep it that way.  Do the
aftermarket exhaust systems that run single or dual turbo mufflers hit the
valance or require it to be bent or even removed (sounds dumb)?  If so, is
there an better choice?

Thanks in advance.

Patrick
