I want loud but not retarded loud. They have to be some sort of 2-1 design with a muffler to provide a bit of back pressure as not to burn up valves, which apparently the Ducati 2 cylinders like to do if they are simple straight pipes.

I gotcah. It wont be strong enough to pick the bike up, or large enough to balance it either, but I can make it compact enough that I can put a skid plate under/around it from 3/16th aluminum and bolt it to the frame, that would support it and protect it too.

But thats the idea, like the Buells, an under the motor muffler design for sure.
