No experience here. This is a type 4 or late bus muffler with some adapter 
pipes. Interesting concept.

I think I can still get some Canadian made type 3 mufflers that replace the 
OE mufflers. These still use all the standard heat exchangers and come as 
one piece, with the exhaust tip in the normal left side position. I only tried 
one of these and found that the big threads that screwed into the rear heat 
exchangers were a bit small and stripped out of the first set of HEs I tried 
them in, but that muffler is now installed in a car that is driving around now 
and it's been fine for over a year. I won't really know how they survive for 
another couple of years.
