If you just narrow the piping, you lose that variability.

(Well, maybe people haven't ever seen the HKS 350 exhaust or something.)

Semtex,
Thanks for the pic post as I wonder whether the 5Zigen does not have a similar setup when viewed underneath with the extra cans atop the actual mufflers? Can you please fly your private jet to Japan and find the answer for me? Inquisitive minds want to know. (Now watch AK smoke me on finding this out first.)
