Sorry, Zeke. By trial and error (and looking at the way the old RSR's and RS's would block off their sport muffler outlets) I discovered that the overall volume of the muffler would go down sigificantly by capping one of the two outlets. Obviously, if the two headers didn't lead into a common chamber, this would be an engine-destroying idea.

Reducing the size of each side would probably have a similar effect, but the fact that Flowmaster makes the same muffler with single and dual outlets suggests it's safe, and it's very simple to pop the soup can on or off.
I guess I'm thinking of the vanity side of this. Both sound and looks. I mean a soup can? I thought you might be looking for a semi permanent device to use on the street. It would also seem that the tone would be better coming from both pipes, but maybe it doesn't make any difference beacuse of what you say about the common chamber.

Anyway, the whole thing is novel. You put a soup can on your car with the end still in it and the ricers put a coffee can on theirs straight thru. You gotta wonder what they think when they see you on the boulevard.
