My point was that u can gain a lot back by going with knotched subframes and oval tubing.
this is what I would do if I ever put a side exit system on my car plus it would look badass too.
Dr. Gas Exhaust - Store - Street Rod Boom Tube Mufflers
these will allow you to run subframe connectors.
Dr. Gas Exhaust - Store - Frame Clearance Tubes
I can tell you from experience that dr gas makes quality products too. their xpipe is the baddest one on the market.

Sorry I made it to the thread late, Ryan. I looked back through my threads and found where I posted when I got the exhaust fabricated, but the picture is expired. I have the picture at home but it's on my external HD which has kicked the bucket
My setup looks just like turbogt's does though, his actually looks a tad bit cleaner. I remember sending him pictures and info about how I did it before he built his. It's pretty simple.
To go the route we went, you will need to cut a bit off your mid pipe, and either weld the mufflers on or fabricate a slip fit of some sort. You also will not be able to use any chambered/square style muffler, as there is just not enough space to do it. Trust me, I tried everything and the room is just not there unless you use a same side in/out muffler which is what I was wanting to get away from.
From your first list of mufflers, I would say the Powerflo's from SLP are probably going to be the mildest as far as volume. The race bullets are going to be a no-no, they are extremely loud.
I do have a thought though. You might be able to take an off road X (or H) and weld in a pair of the dynomax race bullets where cats would be on a catted pipe, then have the Powerflo's welded in where turbogt and I do. This would give you two mufflers on each side, but would not restrict flow like running a catted pipe would. The bullets are only slightly larger than their in/out diameters (probably 1" overall diameter larger, so 1/2" effectively for ground clearance) so I don't think you would have much problem as far as clearance under the car.

Oh and I also have a couple other round case/straight through options for you to consider:

Never seen it before, but I found some pics of the muffler you're talking about:
That would make it a bit difficult to get the tips to look good as im almost positive that the outlet wont be up towards the front of the car enough.
I'd also rather have the same side in/out so i only had 1 90* bend, rather than 2. The same side in/out would make the turn less harsh.
