Opposite One Ball?

Not sure if this has been done, emissions may have limited people from doing so. Not too sure though. Instead of using the normal one ball, why not eliminate the muffler and use the resonator only? I was looking under my MCS today and thought about it.

Made a quick illustration as of my idea. I will be doing all the work so nothing lost. Have pipe laying around all over the place. So what is your guys' thoughts?

i think it would be interesting to see and hear but not sure how it would perform compared to the traditional one ball.

it would be better though as far as weight distribution at least. however i think the traditional one ball became popular because it was easy and cheap to do... what your proposing would still be relatively cheap but still more expensive then the traditional one ball and not to mention a bit harder to do as you would have to add 3 bends to the system instead of one.

do it up

I already have all kinds of bent pipe, mocked something up earlyer this afternoon. Just have to cut the stock exhaust. Puill down the stock muffler and mock it up under the car. Get it all welded up, just have to figure a way to hang it...shouldnt be too hard. I already have a dual magnaflow tip i am going to use.
