Default Titanium Welding

I have searched for a post I saw here a couple weeks ago, and I can't find it now. It had a writeup and pics of the mod showing the "semi-straight pipe" someone had done to a C5 Z06 titanium exhaust, via welding in a titanium tube to one of the two tips per muffler. Can anyone steer me to that thread please?

No.... the one I'm looking for was just a stub of titanium pipe welded between one of the two tips to make it partially a straight pipe. No cutout was used... and it just a couple of weeks ago.... Thanks for the help tho...
