its made of stainless steel....the piping is 3in. mandrel bent(same as pettit CB) and the muffler is a pettit 3in. canister....the tip is a 45 cut from a 90 degree 3.5in elbow....the cut was made at a slight angle though to raise the attitude of the tip slightly.....hard to explain...but it made the tip sit just right.....

Any reason why you didn't use the outside rear hanger? Just curious.

both hangers at the rear are still in use....the pettit canister just moves the attachment point further back.....has a big nasty bracket that protrudes from the can....but the stock hangers are still in use.....

OK, I think I see what you're talking about in the picture. There's a horizontal tab showing at the top and around the middle of the muffler?

wow, good job. for a second when i first saw the pic i thought it was RE-A's dolphin tail, but the color gave it away.
have u thought about polishing it??? so some people won't relate it to bus and stock european mufflers.
not my first choice of muffler style, but i like it. its uber clean =)

I ran this exhaust for a while before I went to a titanium one (yours actually inspired me ). It was a old school 3" pettit racing exhaust with the monsterous 5" tip which I had cut off and had a dolphin style tip welded on using the pie method of welding.
If anyone wants it Ill let it go for $200
