Looking for advice on choosing a proper flowing end-silencer/damper for the Legnum which must be quite quiet, unless revving (over 4000 rpm) then I'd like to hear some sporty sound. Actually, the sound from the dual-exhaust I have on our VR2 is spot on. But those silencers aren't made anymore.

The current exhaust systems is: PS-Iida downpipe, 3" (inner diameter!) de-cat + catback + orginally kakimoto endpipe (way too loud and drone-ing for my likings). I'have replaced the kakimoto with an original legnum exhaust and welded a custom flange to get it fit, but the flow is noticably worse (no suprise ofcourse) but the silence is wonderful on long trips.

Kakimoto vs original Mitsi:

After deciding on the end-silencer I'm planning on welding it all up myself creating four end-tips (square) two on either side. It'll be quite a struggle to balance it so all four tips will vent the same amount of fumes.

Anyone got some tips on which silencer would be appropriate?
