I was just wondering what you guys opinion would be on building something like this. It would definitely save some money and it would be a one off part lol.

Is this automatically true, or does it depend on how the new system flows? Since esthetics are his primary concern, isn't It possible that the new system could have flow numbers similar to, or even lower than the stock system?

With a custom fabbed header, others' advice probably won't apply...Mebbe pick up one of those snazzy "colortune" devices to fine tune jetting...If ya get em built, post pix, Please!

I suspect the muffler (or lack of it) would be the dominant factor.
