Bates Prototype Valvetronic Exhaust - Custom OEM Exhaust with Valves

Has anyone seen the inside of a oem exhaust before? I'm curious about the packing/tubing within. I'm considering a special exhaust project.
[BIG EDIT: See below (starts at post #19) for pics of a work in progress of our custom valve-based exhaust, now named the "Samuel E Bates Valvetronic Exhaust".]

[Long term update] For anyone considering buying Race Ready Cutouts / Valves, you should read this first:

[Longer term update] JEGS valves have been great. Havent missed a beat in many months.
