Question Borla Oval XR1 at Back for True Duals?

I am making the change to TDs next month. The shop that is doing the work typically does Magnaflow mufflers, but I have been looking at the Borla XR1s. Piping will be 2.5" and they will be over the axle out the back with my existing Borla (catback) tips on the ends.

I have spent time searching but could not find a definite answer. It was suggested to use round mufflers but Borla does not seem to have a 2.5" in/out that is round. The 40942, however, is 2.5" in/out but oval. Would it be possible to fit the oval ones back there at the very back or am I going to have to go with some sort of bullet instead? What about the 40085 3" in/out round and reducing it at the flanges? Car is lowered with the Eibach ProKit. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I've done my share of research and, after considering Sweet Thunders, Spiral Flows, Bullets, etc. have settled on the XR1s, provided they will work in that location. Cost is not a major concern. Thanks.
