Mufflers Straight Off Headers
It would be quiter and a better tone with the XR-1. IMO.

Any build details on those wheel stands? I like those a lot. I have been considering building a set myself, that looks a lot easier to build than what I had in mind. They look like they stack nicely too.
I built them at work. I'm a electrician by trade.
Their made out of 1 1/2" ridgid conduit with 3/4" for cross bracing.
Their bent on 60% angles, with 18" between bends.
Their 15" high. And around 44" long. 15" wide.
I just holesaw them with a 3/4" holesaw and slid the cross bars in, and welded them.
Then cut the ends off at an angle, to make them 15" high.

Conduit?! I figured schedule 40 pipe at a minimum. How rigid are they? What is the wall thickness on the conduit? I work in ship repair on Navy ships for a living, so overkill is the norm. Things are quite literally built to withstand a bomb blast. I tend to carry that mentality over into my home projects.

Gotcha. (Not an electrician here.) When I think of conduit, I think of that paper thin stuff at home depot. Sorry for the side track on your thread. I like the sound of the mufflers w/ no turn downs.
