Greg and list,
         There are 2 sources I'm aware of.  Rocky Mountain Motor Works has
a couple and JC Whimpy sells a simple tube style muffler.  I've used the
Whipy version for a couple of years and it worked just fine.  You'll never
pass a smog inspection but they work alright.  Sure is cheaper than an
original system.  As far as an extractor set-up, you'll need to visit a
speed shop.  I've seen a few, but they were all custom jobs, plus they can
cause some serious head melting.
