Hi Jerry,

Is that a fuel rail you have just above your loudner :) Please make sure you
get plenty of heat shield, drain path, blast tube goodness around there,
especially that banjo union above the down pipe weld in case it cracks in
service..

Let us know what this sounds like.

Its not much different than stock  vis a vis the fuel rail.
The fuel rail is in the same relative position to the stock exhaust
manifold. I don't like it any better than you do and that is 
why I am moving mine over to the cool side of the engine.

The muffler is better than it looks. It is a tangential muffler
and the exhaust pulses spin around inside there and become somewhat
homogenized before the gases make their way out. It is also made
from .063 thick 304  stainless for durability.  I like it. Jerry
lives on a private air strip 35 miles from the nearest town.
The only animal that will notice is a few horses and cows. :-)

Perhaps the nearby Army Delta Force will think they are being attacked
by a Taliban secret weapon :-)>

BTW Jerry has this heavy duty SS dual muffler for sale. It has 
perforated tubes inside and it is packed with something. What is it
packed with Jerry?. This too is heavy gage 304 SS and looks like it will
stand up fine to the rotary.
