Dean,
I had a RC-40 mounted to my bugeye. However I did have to change it, since the
front can kept scraping the ground during hard cornering, and on 'speed-bumps'.
Measure the distance between the two cans, and maintain it when you have it
re-shaped.
I would recommend having the rear can monuted horizontally behind the gas tank
with the first can at right angles just behind the rear axel. This will allow
you to use the unmodified tail-pipe, and also get the first can out from under
the car. Also have them bend the exhaust pipe up over the axle, instead of
underneath it. If the guy at the muffler shop argues with you about this
arrangement, don't let him change your mind, I did, and I've regretted it ever
since :-(
