True Dual car wants better ground clearance

I have Hedman longtubes with true dual exhaust (just got rid of the H-pipe, what a hassle for no performance gains IMO). Anyway, I was to tuck it up as tight as possible to sort of go around the tranny then down the center driveshaft tunnel. Does anyone have pictures and reccomendations regarding 2.5" mandrel bent tubing prices. PS. Yes I've searched and have been reading about this topic for a while, nothing I saw had both parts used AND pictures of it installed.

I bought mandrel U bends from Summit, I couldn't find anything cheaper..maybe someone else knows of a cheaper place to buy bends? I have about 4in of ground clearance at the lowest point and the car has been lowered since I took the exhaust pics on my website. Its tucked up as high as it can go and keep in mind I have a Spohn trans. crossmember.

I also and trying to do a custom exhaust, but i want to go with turnouts before the rear tires, so i dont have to go up over the axle. I was looking at a site
Dr.Gas
Does anyone have any experience with their product, and would their round to oval pipes definitly be a good thing for me to look into to use for side pipes? Thanks

here are the pictures of mine:

ground clearance:

one more:


these were taken with v6 springs all the way around with v8 up front with back spring isolators removed with 275/60/15 tires on it. i never once had a clearance issue when i had it at that ride height. the same system is now on my white car, which has 1 coil trimmed off running a 295/50/16 tire on a 91 z28 wheel. i scrape on SOME big speed bumps.
