If it works on the primise of pulses, like wavelengths, you'd just want them to meet at a certin point. So, instead of cutting 8 inches off ( Probably a certin section of the pulse ) couldn't you just figure how long a pulse is, and then add that much more?
^BUMP Anyone?

I just ordered my RB header and will be fabing up custom exhaust behind it.
Using Thick walled tubing makes a big difference inside the car. The thin tubing used by most muffler shops does not have the mass necessary to prevent noise transmission through the tubing.

I run dual pipes from the engine back, and the sound inside the car is quite reasonable.

I used tubing from RB. I don't remember the wall thickness, but it was MUCH greater than standard exhaust tubing.
