Eric,
I am using an Audi Fox manifold and down pipe for my swap.  It all fits
perfectly.  Right after the down pipe there is a 90deg bend and round
"turbo" muffler tucked out of sight.  A little raspy when I wind it out to
5000rpm, but that engine is SOOO far back there that I don't notice it
unless I roll down all the windows.
