if you get the shorties, then jegs sells a ypipe for them that will bolt up to your stock exh(or aftermarket catback). but Ive heard of problems w/the pipe not lasting very long before they rust through. (the ypipe, not the headers tubes).
zepher, my true duals end at the rearend, then just dump down. so I have approx. 30"s of tube, then the muff.s, then dumps down. I have some pics of it here.

i have traded the turboII muff.s for bullets. so I went from too quiet to too loud. for normal muff.s, you have to clearance up the floorpan under the rear seat cushions to make enough room. there is a few inches of space under the rear seat cushions. the bullets dont need any clearancing.
at normal ride height, there arent any ground clearance issues. now that I lowered the front end w/cut v6 springs, its close, but i have yet to hit anything. and I REALLY lowered the front. too much really.
bullets are like oldschool cherry bombs. but w/better sound. they are hollow in the middle. as in you can look right through them. like I said, they are pretty loud. theres usually 15plus horsepower to be had w/longtubes over shorties. depends on how "built " it is. the more powerful the eng is, the bigger the diff. is.
duals are not hard to do, you just need to find a shop that will do it. and do a good job of it so they dont hang down low. mine is very tucked up and out of the way.

Bullets get very annoying on a daily driven car. They are usually very loud at idle and just obnoxious (don't know if I spelled that right??) when you're on the expressway. I would check with the cops and see what kind of noise you're allowed to make or you might be getting tickets for your bullets.
BTW 97WS6.. good spelling on "obnoxious"
Don't get me wrong, a bullet is like nothing else when you stab the loud pedal, but you get alot of cabin noise, not to mention every cop within 3 miles will be on your @$$.
I had a pair of flowmaster mufflers on my 77 Z28 that were the single chamber racing mufflers (30 series maybe?) with a 45 degree dump on the mufflers themselves that were pointed kinda between the ground and the sides of the car (sounds like a good idea when you're 17). In sand or the rain you would see dust/water jetting from the sides of the car. That idea lasted about a month and then it just go old, especially when you take your girl out and you can't hear what she's yelling at you about (maybe that was a good thing?). Cruising down the street at night, or through the parking lot at work was always a trip cause it would set off car alarms 30 feet around it.
