Default Scale Exhaust Systems?

I know I've seen a couple builds with scale exhaust systems, but I can't seem to find them. I'm looking to do a complete exhaust system from a fracture V8 engine into 1/4" brake line, dual exhaust with an H pipe and some scale mufflers.
If you've got a scale exhaust system post it here!
Thanks!

This is what I did with brass tubing, molding clay, lexan, and spraypaint:



Molding clay was only used to "center" the smaller diameter tube in the larger one. The lexan endcaps also keel the exhaust centered.





Since this is based off a WE Rock comp buggy, a pretty simple exhaust was only needed.

Thanks! I guess I could be more specific. I'm wanting to see scale mufflers, headers, 3 bolt flanges, rubber isolated exhaust hangers, x pipes, o2 sensors, resonators, catalytic converters, braided stainless exhaust flex, mongo tips, pencil tips, slash cut tips, side pipes, lake pipes, cut outs, megaphone tips, flared slip fits, and exhaust clamps. Tedo nailed it

That idea above is a slick for a muffler. styrene end caps should keep it centered like was mentioned. Headers may be a PITA but doable. 3 bolt flanges can be made out of styrene, just slip 2 over the pipe with some super small scale hardware without having to cut the pipe. Hangers could be made out of heavy duty rubber bands and colored with a sharpie. Gonna ahev to check this post out and see whats out there...

I just drew this up, flange like this?

Wow I bet most of you scale builders come from a background in painting and assembling ABS plastic models!! Some of the work on this forum is incredible.
