Looks really nice, Dennis, except that I have to agree with Keith: 
That muffler may look really cool, but the 10th time you burn or cut 
your shins on one of the tips, or the 3rd time you discover that the 
alum foil air hoses have disappeared, you'll be looking for something 
better.

I hope you still have a decent pair of the little upper heat 
exchangers. I went back to the stock mufflers after trying to deal 
with the kewl aftermarket ones for more than 10 years. They just 
aren't worth it.
