'Ray
Thanks for the full story.'
You're very welcome. I've been interested in exhaust systems since the Summer of 1967 when I was a college kid and had a welding job at Doug's Headers. Science and engineering are always moving forward and it's been interesting watching exhaust design evolve along with other engine components like camshafts, cylinder heads, and ignitions.
Having basic welding skills makes it possible to fabricate exhaust systems to fit just about anything, accommodating the inconvenient locations of components like starter motors, steering boxes, oil filters and shift linkages, Non-welders would be pleasantly surprised how easy most welding processes are to learn, excluding tig that I would liken to learning to play a fiddle.
