IMHO one way is the RIGHT way to do it.. and the other is the gangster crappy way to do it... cutting corners is ok in SOME situations.. but as stated i have a real apex N-1 and have had for years.. it has never rusted, come apart, or ANYTHING negative.. it has been extremely reliable and has EVEN held up to the occasional driveway scrape.. i guess what im saying is there is not much to differentiate you from any lame ass ricer out there.. one thing that COULD do that is quality.. an approach of actualy adding quality parts to your ride.. that HAVE strong R&D, quality materials, and EXCELLENT manufacturing behind them, OR you can be ANY ricer on ANY street in america, with your aerospeed muffler.. you could always do what they do and call gheto rigged exhaust work "custom" but i personaly would not want to be part of that group... nor do i think you do.. so just suck it up.. buy the whole (real) thing.. it will last for years..
