I used a Supertrapp on my `4 for several years. It was a 25" tail
piece on my car... While I liked what it did (performance wise)
for the car, I didn't like dragging it whenever I drove it up or down
anything more than the slightest incline (at the time Supertrapp
wasn't offering it's current "inline model" that could be installed
"up flow" from the end of the exhaust).
BTW, I also had a Monza header that was connected to a 2" custom
made exhaust pipe routed through the X section in the frame. When
the Monza gave up the ghost last year, I installed the 3 piece
header and went back to the 36" glasspack that I started out with.
Yeah it's a bit loud... but I can live with it.
