Hi Greg,
Yes that is what ours looks like and we may go the route you suggest.

What is odd is that when I look at the diagram at the Tasca web-site they show components that separate the resonator from the very expensive odd-shaped rear muffler. I am wondering if they changed the way the system was made subsequently.

Here is the Tasca link:

(sorry I don't know how to make this a hot link in this message system).

My question for anybody is what would happen if we just put in straight pipe? My understanding is that the function of the long muffler is as a resonator.

BTW our muffler has no signs of impact damage (common on our roads) but does show evidence of the outer layer peeling off at the top which is too bad. I am thinking that given the miles and conditions it is not too bad.
