side exit duals

ok i have a 87 t/a i actually "want" dual side exits. I bought a set of reactive? oval SS tips and want them to exit before the rear tires parallel. a have a set of one chamber 2.5 inch mufflers. Can it be done using the stock manifolds and running straight pipe back then 90 degrees out the sides?

Notch the GFX so you can tuck the tips up into the notched section. I would do this if I ever go to true duals. Like this roush F-150...

Thanks, but wouldn't if you notch the efx you would just have your rocker panel in the way?

Oval tubing would make the job a lot easier http://www.spintechmufflers.com/spin...ntechindex.asp

Re: side exit duals

yeah I'm pretty sure the GFX are just over the rockers not below them.
