where did you get this exhaust system?
it looks like it would flow quite nicely on the top end...

as for making it quieter, it's going to be hard because it doesn't look like there is going to be a lot of room to place a pre-silencer, and you don't want to go with a restrictive muffler with the single opening design.
as loud as the N1 or its copycats are, you are going to need that straight-through design to properly take advantage of this exhaust system...

it looks painted actually, take a look at those welds.

speaking of welds it would be a bitch to do those welds if they WERE it aluminum!
