I'm with Mike on this one. You don't need that extra ballast. I am using
the stainless Falcon big bore exhaust that comes with the rear muffler
only. It is really a lot quieter than my buddy's ANSA system. He complains
that the noise gets to him after a long highway run. Mine is quiet enough
to be very tollerable even after a 4 hour run at 65mph (1 gas stop of course).
