Default Exhaust ... Help ... Suggestions ... Opinions WANTED :)

Hi all, pretty simple but essentially I am after ideas on what to do with my exhaust.

Plans in the future 12-24 months are most likely either a dart blocked 347 or a strong 5L.

Thinking about a twin system and asked my mechanic today what he reckons.

He has suggested going with a twin 2 1/2" Exhaust with new headers and Hooker mufflers. He has also suggested that I get a couple of screw baffles in which can be bolt in bolt out to help quieten it down a touch without effecting the performance. He has suggested using a guy he knows. I saw some of the workmanship from him today and to be honest I'd be more than happy letting him do whatever!

My concern is this. Can I fit a twin 2 1/2" system with mufflers under the wagon keeping in mind it has a 9" diff and not too much free space. Also due to the lack of IRS the two pipes will have to run down the drivers side of the tailshaft...Plus I don't want to be moving the fuel tank and spare wheel.

Has anyone done this before?? Or have photos of this being done on a wagon?

My space issues...
