Here's something to give you all an idea of the exhaust that I'm going to end up with.

By the way, there is a correction to be made. The head pipes are actually either 7/8" or 1". I hadn't accounted for the fact that head pipes are double wall, stupid me.

That means I'll bring my head pipes down into a collector that only picks up to 1.75" or so, which will give me an overall collector ID of 1.5" by the time I'm done, maybe a little smaller.

Unfortunately, there is only about 24" of usable primary space. There was only 26" of primary pipe on the original exhaust anyway.

The pipes pictured are the OEM pipes moved to where I want them, mufflers broken off at the rusty bits.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
