Sorry, no build photos, but the picture is of the pipes I built for the my SPF.
The headers were built by a fellow in New Mexico named Darrell Ratchner. They are 2" primaries vs. 1 7/8" from SPF. The side pipe primaries are 2" and the Hooker Headers 4 into 1 merge collector (2" in, 3 1/2" out), Howe Racing muffler ( 4" O.D. necked down to 3 1/2" on each end, part # H3002 if I remember correctly), and finally a 3 1/2" down turn on the end. The Howe muffler is a straight thru type with a 1/4" louvered baffle and some packing between the inner core and the outside shell. They sound of these is considerably different than the stock pipes, but not annoyingly so.
Here's a shot of a similar set on Fred Bucy's Lone Star:

I had a local fabricator mandrel bend my primary tubes to my specs, 4" and 6" radius if I remember correctly, it might have been 3" and 5", just measure your current pipes and you'll know. The merge collector came from Jegs or Summit and the muffler from Howe (http://www.howeracing.com/Exhaust/In...lers-Duals.htm), and the end piece somewhere on the internet, I just don't remember.
Hope this helps.
