Re: "unique" muffler designs
A few years ago, when the "Thunder Rally" was in town (which consists of 100s if not 1000s of Harleys and other variations on the chopper theme decending on my quaint little town).....I drove the car around with NO EXHAUST SYSTEM AT ALL, that's open headers (its a flat-four, so the exhaust ports face down anyway), and no one batted an eye...I haven't done it since, but I rest calmy in knowing that even my cars loudest is nowhere near what other vehicles get away with everyday. And all my silly mufflers are quite tame in comparison.
When I get my other car back on the road, I want to start converting my Suby for off-road duty (not sure if I mean dirt or racetrack? me neither), ditching the computer controlled carb in favor of a PLAIN, SIMPLE, CARBURETTOR, and a simplified exhaust (delete the cat and 10 feet of pipe) that exits up through the hood, or perhaps right behind a front wheel. Probably wouldn't have much luck sneaking that one past the Po-Po...but that's why it'd be for off-road. Maybe a suspension lift too....some aggressive tires....wait, I should just buy a pickup. But seriously, how many subys have you seen rolling 36 inch mudders?

Re: "unique" muffler designs
haven't seen a subbie like that, but seen a few GM cars like that. Guy in my area has a el comino that he trasplanted a K blazer chisis onto, and is using 30-something mudder tires on it. Looks pretty good in a redneck sort of way
 I was going to mention to you, btw, a guy that just started working at my shop was telling me the other day that he used to have a subbie just like your situation, with a feed back carb he wanted to ditch. He found an adapter plate for a webber, and had a webber kicking around and tossed it on there and removed all the emissions stuff of course, and the results were pretty potent. Way more power, it passed emissions with flying colors and greatly improved his mileage. Win/Win I'll try to get more details if you like

Re: "unique" muffler designs
sweeeeet....I wanna clean up some of the "clutter" under the hood. When I pop the hood, I want to see MY ENGINE. Not a freakish bundle of vaccuum hoses and wires that seem to be making the car run worse. The car runs better with it all unplugged; and if its not doing anything at all, I don't want in my car!!!

Re: "unique" muffler designs
YES...
the hot rodder spirit lives on... a subie on 36's, wow thats extreme. might tip over around curves lol. best redneck car i ever saw was on monster garage. jesse james put a corvette stingray on 44" mud tires, and gave it a 25" suspension lift. it actually looked really sweet.
