Default Pics of Bullet Style Muffler with TD?

I'm trying to add rwhp while taking off some weight, I currently have LTs, ORY and a Magnaflow Catback. I was just thinking of doing a Cutout under the pass seat like most but then I thought if I was just to weld in a Bullet Style muffler with a turn down that I would accomplish both weight savings and extra hp. I am basically going to weld it in the I-pipe and turn it down somewhere under the pass seat and before the axel then take the Magnaflow off the car. I already thought about a TSP true dual setup but was told that it wouldn't work with my TA. I don't have any emission tests and I'm not concerned with it being too loud. Does anyone have any pics of a similar setup or other suggestions? If you have tried this setup did it net you any rwhp gains or ET improvements at the track.
Thanks,
Andy

did this for a while...was loud and resonated alot inside.




then swapped to this. ran the dynomax pipes from summit into a 2nd bullet and a turn down hidden under the trunk. sounded much better and was nearly invisible from behind the car. interior noise was MUCH better!!!

teke184, I wanted to do something very similar to the first picture but a litle farther back with a turn down but not directly turned toward the ground, more like turned out to the side. Did this setup net you any hp or track gains? Thanks for the pics!
