I honestly was thinking cost effective alternative.
Brad probably needs to look at the big picture and figure out the asnwer to these questions:
1. How many units does he need to purchase to place his order?
2. How long will it take to sell those units?
3. R&D time?
Once he has that information then decide if it is cost effective to really build a custom system or retrofit another machines system.
For the retrofit system. Lets say Brad uses the 450R slipon. Only use the slip-ons that are a round canister, straight through design with adjustable end cap. He could have the round sleeve portion of the canister to length himself probably. Have a shop make a and adapter that slides into the end and secures with rivets or screws. Brad could carry say the HMF pipe but also offer customers the option of modifing and other slip-on 450R exhaust that matches the same diameter canister.
Just really depends how much money Brad can invest into it and how long he can sit on that investment before he sees any return.
