Make me a set with rolled edge stainless tips that will hang off my Dach X Pipe and you have an order. I don't really need no stinking mufflers anyway (although I have to imagine Chris' DACH-R mufflers have to be fairly similar to Darin's or RSRs.....)....
how much louder could it be anyway ? ;-)

So, the deal with the fangs for those of you wondering is this:
yes, a fang in and of its self is somewhat idiot proof.........BUT
if you want it to fit, actually attach to the cat properly and still be able to get back to the mufflers when you go back to street use, we have to also supply a set of connector pipes to get you from the cat to the muffs. The fang is easy, its the rest thats critical. To do it right, we mount the pipe to the car, fab the fang and the extra connector pipes to the muffs and disassemble. This all takes time to do correctly (I know how critical you guys get about having this just perfect) and involves rack time to disassemble an reassemble. We don't do enough to jig it specifically, so like the pipes used to be, these are a truly bespoke piece and yes, we do charge accordingly.
but this is about what it looks like when done (tip not supplied)

Yes. You just need a pipe with a tight 90 bend in it, with flares on each end. A little fab work to get the fitment right, and you're good to go. Is your car a WB?

Just a thought -- if you had a '95 car (one O2 sensor) and wanted to get something lightweight and not too loud, then I would ditch the stock cat and mufflers and come right out of the headers into a single muffler mounted where the cat is, and have two exhausts from that muffler that exit from the stock locations. I have seen this on some local race cars and its not too loud, its light, and fairly cheap if you have an exhaust fab guy who has already done it a few times.
