Default Will 6" Round Muffler fit?

I have a TSP Rumbler which uses a dynomax bullet mufflers with Pacesetter Headers and a TSP ORY. I can get a good deal on a dynomax race muffler, 3" in/out and 6" round. I know that the XR1 is 5 inches, but i can get this muffler for 50 bucs. Let me know asap, before i make a mistake.

You may run into ground clearance issues with a 6" round bullet muffler. I have the Dynomax 4" in/out bullet, and the entire thing can't be more than 5" around. I've got roughly 3-4" ground clearance at the muffler (it is right underneath rear passenger seat). Here's some pics of my setup:

And the coolest - looking through the muffler, all the way to the y-pipe merge!

when yall say 3" and 4" in/out muffler do you mean it's 3/4" across or around. i'm hoping around cuz if it's across how is it only 6" and less than 5" around respectivly?

For my application, I'm talking inner and outer diameters. The inner diameter of my muffler is 4" all the way through. But, the body of the muffler has some packing material around a perforated pipe. That extra packing makes the outer diameter a little bigger.

You can fit a 6" diameter muffler in the rear area where our factory muffler would be.
