Are you pleased with what you got?  It sounds very similar to what I 
planned to do after further thought.  I'm going to put a straight pipe to 
it, since the pipe is free to experiment with.  Its not really that loud 
right now, and it has no exhaust system at all.  Only once you reach 5000 
rpm or so.  

Whatever I do, should I put a rosonating tip on the end?  I wanted to put 
a tip of somesort on.... I'll probably just have to see how it sounds...
