Like I was saying before, I set up my priorities for MY ultimate exhaust. I know an X or H pipe is a good idea and may improve the sound, but I just don't see how it can be done without it dropping down and hurting the ground clearance. The H pipe may be doable with some ovalized tubing, but I'll have to actually see for myself. I'm pretty sure an X pipe would be out of the question.

My rear mounted muffler was a Magnaflow and I had the stock manifolds and cats and it was really quiet. I know they are one of the quieter mufflers on the market. I'm guessing that the headers and no cats adds a lot of volume. I like loud, maybe what is too loud for you is just right for me. Who knows. I would still like to use a 3" muffler rather than a 4" for more clearance. I may be able to plug one outlet of my old muffler and mount it up to one side just to hear what it sounds like.
There is also a muffler that has the inlet and outlet on the same side. It was designed for mounting before the axle and then have the exhaust come out in front of the rear wheel.

It's pricey, but hopefully there is a cheaper alternative. I was thinking it might be possible to mount this under the passenger side cat area and run both sides of the exhaust into it and then have it run out the passenger side. It wouldn't be a dual exhaust, but it's interesting.

Judging by the first pic of the Boom tubes you posted, it would appear they cover a lot of area. To me it seems it will be really hard to route them to exit behind the front wheels.
This is an interesting idea though and I definately wnt to see how it turns out.
Good luck!

I eventually want to do a set of true duals with oval piping over the rear axle once I get all my suspension and drivetrain done.

They take the round tube and flatten it out for clearance without causing any restriction in flow.

I forgot all about Supertrapps adjustable mufflers. I see they also also have these cheaper disc setups that can be added to the end of the pipe to control the volume and flow.
