I'm generally not moved to comment with many of the recent exchanges, but this one did incite me to offer a reply while waiting for my iPad to sync.
On the issue of exhaust systems, I had experienced thermal cracking of the DV system repeatedly when used on the 1.8L RV Digifant engine as well as the DV. 
For what its worth!

I for sure would never build an inline four, gas or diesel .. with anything other than my own version of the stock DV exhaust system.
Have had nothing but full success with those setups.
