Good question.
On this prototype, everything from the rear differential back is fully welded as one piece. Both mufflers and tips. So there wouldn't be any chatter between them, you can try to squeeze them together like one of those chest exercise machines and they don't budge. You can't get them to touch even if you wanted to. We considered joining the two mufflers together and making a nice weld between them as a visual thing at the back, but decided against it for now. Of course, if we notice any issues during road testing we will evaluate and make changes.
Again, this is still early pre-production work. We will tweek and adjust the mufflers and resonators in the system for both fitment and sound properties. It is very likely the final production model will have slightly more or less spacing between the two mufflers. It is a fairly long process to get new products to market, and most of that is early testing in order to weed out that type of potential issue before a products gets into the customers hands.
