Yes WallsXB it's just for the sake of novelty.
He could have his cake and eat it too if he used a Titanium or carbon muffler in the tail, and a slim flat muffler under the bike. This would keep the noise down, sound great, and have the novel configuration he wants.
Flaya: WOOF!! that muffler is bigger than it looks in the crappy picture of the red bike. Of course when it's inside the seat subframe and not sitting on top of it, things should even out.
You're going to need to cut the inlet stubbs off of it and weld a couple of tight bends in their place. You might just put a Y pipe there feeding the muffler but have a single pipe from the header to the tail for simplicity.
If you sell this one along, I totally understand. This project as it sits in your garage isn't for the home hobbyist. Oh it's well doable but it'd be easy to feel overwhelmed by the whole thing. You might look at DanMoto exhausts, and find one that fits between the rails in back. DanMoto stuff is decent quality, and the one's I've heard on I4 bikes and Ducatis sound good too.
Smaller muffler might give you the confidence to carry on with this as it'd be more manageable. You'd have more control over the look and the sound that way.
The contents of your underseat area and their relocation is probably the part of this that'd slow me down for a while.
Thanks for sharing so far, keep it up!
