Believe me, this has been an ongoing debate with us internally as well.

The two "huge" mufflers in the shot are actually only 15.5" long each in body. The have centered inlet/outlets. That's the largest we can fit and still have a direct "Y" path to the tips.

For full production, we have the option to decrease that down to a 10"-14" canister, or change to an offset inlet and/or outlet. Generally speaking, the bigger the canisters and more centered the inlet/outlet, the quieter things will be. So the system as shown should be about as quiet a direct dual system as can be made with straight through mufflers.
