I've read lots of talk about people tinkering with Borla, Walker exhausts,
I've had a Flowmaster on our Escort GT(1.8l Protege/miata engine)for over a 
year, and also on the family Civic (92-1.6l-105hp).  The Escort dropped 
0.4sec. from 0-60,
and the Civic now outruns it!  Call their tech line: 1-800-544-4761 : and 
be armed with pertinent engine data(displacement, max rpm, peak hp&torque 
etc) and they will come up with a suitable part#, as well as recommended 
exhaust dimensions and configurations.
They come in 2-chamber(loud) and 3-chamber(mellow) versions. Both sound 
wonderful, deep and rumble-y down low, with a great top-end scream. Cheap: 
about $50 if you shop around.  Durable: no fiberglass packing.  Also they 
leave NO FLAT SPOTS in the torque curve.  It's what we plan to use on our 
'94 R1 (Jan?Feb?)

Thanks to Michael Butler/Brain Dore/Alan Dahl for all the great '94 model 
info.

PS. I'm the one who tried my 15" wheels on Alan's car at Salina
