I really don't think so. The only way you could convert to using a type 1 
muffler would be to use type 1 heat exchangers (the lower ones) and type 1 
lower cooling tin. The type 1 muffler might still hit the intake bellows. I 
don't know.  

I have seen some Canadian made mufflers which looked like this: made of round 
tube, but mine had a thermal wrapping rather than the little separate heat 
shield as shown in this photo. Come to think of it, the Canadian one didn't 
have the separate damper pipe; everything was integrated into one muffler with 
a single curved exhaust pipe coming out of the left end.
