Porsche exhaust?

I have a 2 litre in my '72 1302 (Super Beetle) with BAS exhaust system. I want to modify it to run with a Porsche, or similar style, cat-back exhaust under the rear apron. Anyone tried this kind of modification or have any feedback on back pressure or lack thereof? Also,I am running dual 40mm Webers & CB Performance large valve heads.

Thanks,

Mathias

In addition to Spike's questions, I am curious about your rear valance (apron). I don't remember ever seeing one with the fuel-injection year bulge and a wide gap rather than a one- or two-exhaust gap.

This one from above

The apron was most likely modified to accept the boxster-style exhaust tip. I just bought a dual cut-out late model rear apron on ebay & am debating about doing the same modification.
