Paul,
The guys at Aero Fabricators (Wag-Aero's exhaust
overhaul shop) readily sold me formed 316 ends to
use for my heat muff. I wonder if you couldn't get
either std 316 blanked components or even have them
fab up the entire muffler/pipes unit for a semi-reasonable
fee. Might be worth the asking, esp if you can pull
in 10 or 15 buyers for a std exhaust system.
I would suggest a prototype and some dyno runs to
validate the system somewhat before too many are
built, but once it passes a basic checkout, a small
'semi-custom' run might work as some of the
std A/C muffler formed pieces may reduce or eliminate
the need for a lot of special parts.
