Assuming you're doing this for the sound increase, using dual stingers won't be that much louder unless one's straignt thru.
Dumping the exhaust under the car wouldn't give me any concerns. Hotrods have been doing it forever. Ever see a 57 Chev. with pipes that stop at the pumpkin? If you open the b/fly at idle, you probably won't be sitting in that spot for very long and whe you're at speed, the exhaust is blown away.
If you want to keep the Magnaflows, the easiest is to puy the b/fly and a tee in front of them.
Bill, yes its just for sound, but I do need to keep it quiet at times. Its uphill to my home and late nights/early mornings would make me very unpopular otherwise Id go straight through from the cats too. Yep, the idea was to gut the innards of one stinger each side.
Where the exhaust exiting under the car comes in is because I had one of the standard mufflers blow a small hole in the front, perhaps its me but the fumes in the cabin were terrible (eye watering) even when moving. I also dont really like the idea of additional heat under the car, I can already keep a Big-Mac cooking in the center consol!

Exhaust open and just live with the results when it's closed?
I hadnt even thought of that Brian. Would it be a big issue with fuel mixture and timing etc?
