I'm not a muffler designer so I can't say how good it is. I will say that the steel wool he used to pack it won't last very long and will probably rust out the whole thing. What is he going to charge for one? I paid $90 for a stainless Magnaflow with a lifetime warranty and a great tone.

Looks like a lot of work for not much of a performance muffler. Like Evan said, the steel wool won't last too long (should've used fiberglass) and I doubt that thing flows all that well either.

I wouldn't bother with it, but that's just my opinion.

In theory, it looks really nice, and home made mufflers are rather cool. Like they said though, no idea on performance, flow or how long it will last.
