Focus on the needs and overall design, then decide what parts you're wavering on. From there maybe figure out a way to allow those options to be tested over time.

For me, I have no idea what mufflers I want and am thinking of building my own. I'm going to build the rest of it any way. Might as well build the mufflers too, maybe. I intend to build the exhaust system in such a manner than I can easily drop out the mufflers and bolt new ones in without having to change much if anything else. To do this I figure I'll have a section, say 18-24 inches, under the car where a muffler would reside that can be unbolted. That would allow me to try different length mufflers out and only have to use extension pieces to make up the difference and reconnect the system together. The rest of the system won't change because that's how I know I want it to run. The mufflers are my unknown.

Good luck. Glad the wheels are fitting correctly now.
