Ruffryder, here's a link to a thread on TY that has some pretty good views.

wtf? I searched there for a while today... ha ha
Oh well, thanks for the link. You want to invest in having someone build it out of titanium? Along with a set of tie headers? lol
hmm... I don't think aluminum would work, at least not of the tubes and what not. It looks like there isn't any packing in there.

Yeh, I don't think they use any packing. So the sound level dosen,t change though out the life of the muffler. Just a quess anyways.
It looks fairly complex in there, like a whole bunch of engineering went into it.
Ti would be the way to, if a guy could figure out how to make it quiet......without breaking the bank

just a little
I would say to just build an exact copy in Ti. That way you don't have to build a bunch of them to test for sound output and performance. Just build them and use them.Ti would be the way to, if a guy could figure out how to make it quiet......without breaking the bank
As to the bank..stop playing accountant in this engineering firm...
The more I look into this, it seems that the tubes are mostly chosen just to fit in the space required. Obviously there is some tuning going on, but for the majority of cut aways that I have seen, they all look really similar, even for cars..
I noticed that the two larger tubes change diameter as well. Not sure if that is for noise control, or to change exhaust gas velocity for performance.
I wonder if it would be worth making one out of steel sheet metal (ie cheap and easy) using straight diameter tubes inside. Kind of a proto-type to see how loud it is, before investing in Ti.

When I bought my Nytro it had a gutted exhaust on it. It sounded like S***! Example would be a mid 90s Honda civic without a muffler and leaky header; very very raspy and loud. The guy I bought it from said he gutted it by removing all the pipes inside so it was just a empty chamber. I was going to give it away but I decided to turn it in for scrap.
Some muffler pictures
Old Honda something..
Kawasaki KLR Muffler (dual sport)
Honda Shadow muffler (cruiser)
buell muffler
some other motorcycle muffler
Some crasy 08 Honda CBR muffler. I think the flux capacitor is in there somewhere, along with the muffler bearings... Now this thing has some engineering going on!!!
For the most part, the mufflers look pretty similar. Three tubes changing direction of the exhaust flow two times. It seems that most of this is a space constraint issue.

Wow!!!! Looks like there is a cat converter in there as well. I'd hate to have buy a new one of those!
