Mufflers not required.

Its obviously just mocked up, and you could certainly use better quality piping. But since this is just going to be a driver for my wife to run around in, and ultimate HP was not the goal, the $3 Autozone 90 degree and 45 degree bends worked just fine.
And it sounds great, not too loud as I was afraid of.

Looks good, that's exactly what I was thinking! Altho, I would probably have installed a small glass pack muffler on each side to provide some back pressure for the low end. I wonder if they still make Cherry Bombs?

Now if we can get someone to manufacture a y-pipe with build in resonators that exit out the side, we'd be in business. Hell, anyone that can make that would probably make a fortune!
