Timco, this is essentially a "Pedro" exhaust and we used the DIY on his website with a few variations. We used 1.5 in stainless instead of 1.25 for a little more rumble. Since 1.5 won't fit between the muffler and the clamps at the U pipe joint, we added another bend, then cut and welded it a little further down on the U pipe.
After we finished the fabrication, we sandblasted the entire assembly then gave it a ceramic coating. The ceramic coating really cuts down on the heat radiation into the trunk. In fact, it works so well, you can actually touch the muffler with your bare hands after a drive. The coating really dresses up the rear end -- sort of a satin-chrome finish.
I'm very, very happy with the sound -- very subdued until you get on the throttle, and then it really roars. Nice little burble at idle. The best part is when you come off the throttle and you get that sexy crackle and pop. No drone at any speed. Materials and ceramic coating came to about $300.
