Not that the ATR isn't nice, but as I just mentioned, it doesn't compare favorably to the minimalist one-bend exhaust my friend has been producing.
The only possible compromise with this one-bend exhaust is noise cancellation versus weight. The largest (longest) possible muffler I could find weighs about 17lbs, but is very, very quiet. If you want to shoot for light weight, you could get a 2.5-3lb burns stainless muffler, but it would be REALLY LOUD. Either arrangement should flow equally if you use a straight-through muffler (stainless wool around a perforated core), but one will be louder and lighter, while the other will be quieter and heavier.
My friend used a Magnaflow muffler (as did Brian) that is 36" long overall (it's HUGE), and made out of 409 ferritic "stainless" steel unlike the ATR which is a much nicer 304 SS. The Magnaflow is a bargain and can be found for under $100 shipped.
