Having thought briefly about doing this, I was going to run the wiring
harness inside ala TR6 or Spit.  And most other vehicles made today.  The
Fuel, fuel return and one brake line would go down the tunnel edge.  The RH
pipe would go down in a mirror image of the LH existing pipe.  Going over
the axle gives some additional muffling from the bends and extra pipe.

Whole buncha work to make it sound like a Camaro.........

What about running pipe outside the front frame rails, down the Castle
rails and turn out into the rear wheel well using Walker chambered pipe?
Randy Phillipi has it on his green GT and it sounds bitchin'.

Exhausted thinkin' about it....
