As a few have pointed out, no point in hacking up a brand new exhaust. It would need lots of manipulation. I thought a lot about the exhaust and its design for this.

With the diffuser brackets and the Y pipe in the stock muffler compartment it is not feasible to have a muffler back there. My exhaust man and I decided to put a nice long cylindrical race magnaflow muffler under the middle of the car sort of like the borla set up.

There are some trick race magnaflows that are 6" in body length and 4" or 6" in diameter. Very compact. I initially thought about using these in stock location.

To have the exhaust exit like I want it to the bumper beam will need two holes cut into it. Alternatively I could use the hole in the diffuser which was originally intended for exhaust on the Elise/exige. I just don't like that location because it defeats the point of a diffuser...
