Custom Exhaust

I've been watching this thread for a while and was thinking about doing an exhaust on a budget. I removed the resonator today and swapped for a custom made Y pipe, unfortunately there were no noticeable gains in sound quality. I work as an assistant to a mechanic so I have access to lots of toys(tools) and have been thinking about cutting open the stock muffler and removing some or all of the baffles and then welding her back up and seeing how she sounds. Any thoughts? has anyone done this before?

While removal of the stock resonator didn't yield any sound gains it does weigh about 10lbs so I guess I did a minor weight reduction for $65 today.

Sorry about the picture quality i'll try and get a better shot of the internals tomorrow when the sun is up.
