Two options,use a AAR cuda muffler to do this,or use two 90 degree bends to come out of the back of the muffler and come back forward with the zommies attatched,mrmopartech [email protected]

I don't know how big repop AAR mufflers are, or what they cost but I imagine I could do it my way for less money, & I've often read that the AAR/TA exhaust systems didn't flow as well as a normal 340 system because of the muffler. But you're right, this might work. One of the reasons I thought of doing it the way I did was because you can get turbo style mufflers that are only 13" long or glasspacks that are 12" long. I played with the idea of the glasspacks for a long time, but the more I think about it, the more I think a 12" glasspack would be REALLY LOUD.
I also thought about the way you mentioned with the 2 90 degree bends. My concern there was that the exhaust would have to come forward & then basically hit a dead end & reverse out the zoomies. That's not to say that all the bends in my drawing wouldn't be pretty restrictive too, I just thought it might flow better. And, reversing directions is exactly what happens in a turbo muffler, although, like I said, my experience has been that the sound through a turbo muffler & short 2 1/2" pipes is pretty good.
IF I was to do something like this a lot of it would probably come down to what I could fit in the available space when I tried to make it work.
ValiantMike, you're right. It would be a lot of stuff in a small area, & it'd probably need a heat shield of some type to keep from burning the drivers' feet.
