OK, you got our attention <g>  In the '60's Abarth made a muffler for 
Spridgets with two chrome tipped pipes and looked great on a Bugeye and 
sounded even better.  It fitted to a stock exhaust pipe and the stock 
mounting points but had a sort of oval cross section. No clue what they 
looked like on the inside other than you could look stright through the 
muffler.  Monza muffler adds show a muffler that looks a lot like the Abarth. 
 We ordered one for our car (3 years ago) and what we received looked like a 
glass pac with two exit pipes and incorrect mounting point.  Called the 
factory (Arizona) about this and got a rather curt "Well that is how we are 
building them now and just drill a hole in your trunk floor to mount it.)  
Guess what, it went back.

IMO, it looks ok on an italian car, totally out of place on a Midget (or
Bug or VW Bus) >>
