I would like to hear about exhaust solutions that other than Stebro, Ansa, 
et alia.

I only have experience with 105/115 exhausts, but have found stock or Ansa 
front mufflers to fail quickly.  When they do, I remove the exhaust, make a 
simple jig (on the plywood floor of my trash trailer) cut out the front 
muffler, and weld in a JC whitney glasspack (2ID core x3.5" case x 12" 
length) (about $15).  These never wear out.  I've had much better longevity 
with the middle muffler, and observe that they have the most impact on 
overall sound.  The larger the center muffler, the quieter the exhaust 
note.  If they fail, a Magnaflow 11114 (2"ID, 3.5x7" oval x 14" can) is a 
good size replacement (about $65).  I like the Stebro tailpipe and have it 
on several cars.  The Ansa tailpipes I've had rusted out quickly and the 
upswept tips soiled the back of the car.
