I went the opposit direction. I kept running aground on speedbumps. My muffler
was taking a beating and the exhaust pipe kept seperating until I had it welded
onto the muffler and a ramp strap added from the exhaust pipe to the front of
the muffler. When the muffler finally got a hole beat into it, I replaced it
with a pipe. So all the BGT has is a long pipe and the resonator at the back.
And I no longer run aground on high speed bumps (sports car excluders).
