Question Sweet Thunder

I am curious to know whether or not a st muffler would fit where I have my borla xr-1 on my lm2? Am I crazy for thinking this? I love how chambered mufflers sound but I don't feel like changing my whole system right now but would do something simple like this. If it doesn't work i'll just wait until I get some other big mods(heads,rear,tranny) and then do a custom td setup. Thanks.

powersticks go up to 3". Sweet thunder are making them in 2.75" now.

I recommend running a pair in the tail pipes if they can fit.
