I talked with Ron at Spintech about a group buy of 2 into 1 cruiser

mufflers fabricated from 321 stainless. His price is between $225-$250 for
purchases of 20 or more mufflers. That represents a savings of $75-100 over
the single unit price. I know that there are a few people interested. If I
can get a list of 19 people other than my self that are willing to commit to
such a purchase, I'd be willing to organise a purchase and work out the
details.

Attached is a tailpipe mounting system sold by Custom Aircraft

Components for around $85. Looks uncannily like the one I'm making in my
garage.

Brian, about this two in, one out format, doesn't it make it tricky to get
equal length headers or are you going to run it cross wise and put a 90 on
the outlet?  If I can get my mind around this issue I will be interested in
the group purchase.

Well, I am planning on running having the headers be unequal length. There is ~4 inch difference
in the header lengths the way I'm doing it. It's not perfect, but fairly close. But you have a
point. I might be able to mount the muffler transverly and get the header lengths equal. The
important thing is to have the muffler outside the engine cowl.
