Aluminum crusher, Thanks for the nice comments about my truck. As for building one for the monster beetle in your picture, it looks like it would have to be made differently to clear the body and the frame. As I dont have one available to me , I dont belive I could make one. Look at my pictures and you should be able to make one yourself. You probablly could do it without all the 45s.

ilumu81, I dont believe the bends are creating too much back pressure. A tuned pipe actually creates a back pressure wave which creates more power in a 2-cycle. Having the dual outlets probably helps in this area. As for the temprature and performance, Im not sure because I only have two tanks of gas thru it so far. Also the weather up in Michigan is still pretty cold. What I can tell you is the truck seems a little boggy on the bottom end (could be cold air or carb adjust) but it really screams as the RPMs go up and has plenty of top end. The next time I run it I will get temps and evaluate better.

veron, thank you for the nice comment about the truck and exhaust. Yes I did make it myself out of 1/2" copper piping.

CONTAMA,
are those wheels a direct fit or do you have to run an adapter.

Do you think the adapters will handle the stress?
