The issue of production cost is really not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that you can't please all the people all the time. I take seriously the input I get here. In fact, if not for the help of a bunch of people here and trat, I never would have gotten started.
I had a few things that were top priority in my design, and everything else had to follow. Believe it or not, style was way down the list. The order is something like: Performance, compact size, weight, sound/volume, then some other stuff. (incidentally, you may have based your comment about the bracket being a must on the heft of some other cans, but mine only weighs around 4 lbs) The end result was great looking, reasonably priced, great performing muffler that I'm proud to sell. I could shorten my cans pretty easily, but they have a sound right now that, all by itself, is worth the price of admission. I don't want to mess with that. If you want a short fat muffler, go buy an M4 or any number of other products out there. I wouldn't dis any of them. Why should I copy what you can already get elsewhere?
What I primarily want to do here is address the concerns of folks who have been VERY supportive (thanks again) but wanted a different look.
