Full length headers???

I was wondering if anyone has full length headers then a short pipe perhaps about 2' long with some type of small muffler (perhaps a magnaflow race series) then have that bent and exiting right in front of the rear wheels! I would like to get some long tube headers but don't know where i would run the the rest of the exhuast! thanks

I have the Heddman long tubes with the exhaust routed just as you explained and it sucks-MINIMAL ground clearance. I got the thinnest race muffler body I could find (4") and with a full tank of gas and a passenger I scrape everything. This winter when I gut it, I'm going to either channel out the floor pan for the exhaust or get the shorty headders cause man this sucks.
