Here's the Muffs at Unobtainable welding during construction. I only wished I had the time at the time to make 'em myself, but works calls louder sometimes and Chris is a master craftsman untouched. He does many custom stainless and aluminum exhaust systems for a variety of customers.

Thanks for the response. Mine sees quite a bit of mileage...~4k last year.
I think I will toy around making my own aluminum muffs, but depending on how miserably that fails I may just go with the thinwall SS.

The mileage is not so much the case for reserve, it is the amount of vibration that the systems incurs during usage. Clamp it down good and snug and make good welds and it should be fine. I plan to see some more mileage and running this season if all goes to plan. You also can not lose with an SS system. It is also light compared to steel tubing. The wafer thin SS tubes makes for more of a ratty treble sound where as the aluminum brings more of a bass and humbler sound. Will give you weights later today. Got caught up talking up a shop storm with Hemi-itis tonight about his project.

My only concern is heat building up on longer jaunts. Right now I have a full to the bumper 3" H-pipe system from TTI with 2 chamber flowmasters...I should be able to drop some weight no matter what I do. Found your weights: my all steel 3.5" into X junction into 3" Dynomax Ultra flo exhaust system ending and dumping just before the rear differential weighed in the neighborhood of 68 LBS my current military spec 304 stainless tube exhaust system. It weighs in @ 37 LBS with Mufflers and all The aluminum system I saw you estimated 20 lbs

Back to the headlight topic... A few years ago I swapped to a plastic H4 conversion headlight I picked up for $35/pair off amazon. I have since swapped to LED's for the low current draw and awesome light output, but was digging in the basement and came across the old ones, so I threw one on my scale. 8 oz with the bulb and rubber boot https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UG9K04/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1looks like they went up in price

After the seminar we had some pizza and hung out.Greg brough a precision scale made in Tiwan.We weighed the dual filter set up with steel braided lines,starter and the Accumulator.Any guesses at to the weight?? I am going to guess that the starter is one of the 8 1/2 LB units? When you post the actual weight please list the part number so I can add it to my list of starters and actual weights. Still looking for that 7LB unicorn! MJ

OUTLAWD, Frank Romano told me at PRI, he installed all aluminum exhaust on his '55 Chevy for Drag Week. I'm sure he has been putting plenty of miles on the car to test it.

If you have it handy it looks like the bar code label has a part number on it? Thanks! MJ

Anything could have been a Unicorn or a Walrus on that scale. Scale kept changing its mind as far as number readings even when nothing was sitting on it. LOL. Pardon me for snapping on your scale RMCHGR. "Scalewars"LOL.
I did not have a chance to stop by my studio and pick up the old school mechanical unit, but I will bring it next time and compare.
This headlight thing is now the new Gold nugget to seek.
