Citromike,
Nice solution on the silencer. Sounds good. Looks good.
From memory seems your setup seems to sound a bit deeper, less raspy than the stock S4 version. But that is a distant memory, so I could be wrong.
What was the source/spec for the small mufflers? I like the ground clearance it apparently affords you.
Nice video, also. Highway 1?
I have the TTR race systems silencer. I generally like the sound. But I don't like the ground clearance. The silencer is 4.5 inches in height - meaning it extends pretty low. I can move it maybe another .5 inch upward without contacting the cavity. But, it is still a relatively "big" silencer that obtrudes from the rear end.
I was also looking at the silencer from Coast Fabrications that Jay Leno used on his "26r".
This brand was independently recommended to me by my engine builder, Dave Vegher. These are marketed as race mufflers that are good for high performance. They can be custom ordered to size. There is a standard 3.5 inch size which would provide an inch more clearance compared to the TTR silencer I have now. (I think the Coast Fab mufflers are also resold by Burns under their name).

You can hear the Coast Fab silencer on the attachment video of Leno's 26r. Hard to judge really how loud, but certainly not quiet.
