Alternative R56 exhaust

R56 owners who are doing turbo-back exhaust mods might be interested in talking with Mike or Bill at Sweet Thunder. They will do custom work using their chambered mufflers. Here's what it could look like (with different heat shields of course):

Sweet Thunder (out of MI) make these chambered mufflers in stock sizes and custom (mine are 14" custom--about the smallest they make.) The set up you see uses a 2.5" core in the center tunnel then splits to the 2x 2" cores before the tips. The external diameter is about 1" larger than the cores, but still smaller than a traditional muffler. I got aluminized steel, but they will make them in 304 Stainless at 1.5x the price.
I will post some audio, but your Turbo cars would sound a lot different to my SC car, especially as I have a custom CMC header which uses non-standard cylinder pairing. (Not that that matters with a turbo, I guess !)
