For full production, we have the option to decrease that down to a 10"-14" canister, or change to an offset inlet and/or outlet. Generally speaking, the bigger the canisters and more centered the inlet/outlet, the quieter things will be. So the system as shown should be about as quiet a direct dual system as can be made with straight through mufflers.
Well I don't mind the length of the mufflers but the width of the oval is what i'm talking about.
