Default One last duals question!

I decided I'm gonna run duals since I'm tired of the Magnaflow. Not that its bad cuz it sounds good but it really does its job of muffling the sound of the car and I'm just ready for something louder after 2 years+! Right now I have Mac mids, no cat, and the Magnaflow. I just did the cam this past winter and all the other cars I've heard with the cc503 sound way better than mine unless my cutout is open, then I love the sound!
First off I know I drive a LT1 and this is an LS1 section but our underbodies are the same so I'm hoping to get some help here. Also search isn't getting what I need, all I get of sound clips and pics which help but are not a direct answer to what I need.

My plan is to run 2.5" duals with an H pipe, no cats, powersticks, under the axle and out the back. Anyway I want to go with the powerstick mufflers from EAD Performance, a sponsor, here they are http://www.eadperformance.com/catalo...314a28560ac0d7. I just need help deciding what size I need short, medium, or long? I also plan on having flanges before the axle just in case I ever need to drop the rear end, fuel tank, or just run it dumped for a little bit.

Is there anything I need to be aware of? I am lowered with the Prokit and have SFC's but the roads aren't too bad here. I know it will scrape on my driveway cuz my Magnaflow already does that. I've heard of people having trouble with the torque arm or not being able to drop the transmission. What do I need to know to not have some of these problems? I plan on taking pics of other peoples dual setups to various shops around here and see who can give me the best clearance and price with me providing the mufflers.

For comparison to everybody's duals here is what my car sounds like! It sounds good in these vids but in person it seems real quiet? Maybe you pros can tell a difference.
