     Sure looks cool :)


     Mike's exhaust consists of a 321 stainless tube with the outside end welded shut; he then drilled alot of holes in the inside pipe like the inside
     of Tracy's and Tom Jordan's pipes (on the inside of their muffler).  Mike then fabricated an outside tube to cover the inside tube.  So what we have
     is 1/2 of a convensional muffler.  So, the exhaust flows thru the inside pipe, makes a 90 degree turn into the outide section, then travels the area
     between the pipes to the muffler exit.
