You wouldn't gain much velocity or have less energy lost??? How does removing 4 90 degree bends (I.E. pipe diameter loss even with mandrel bends) not help out. Duals that follow the stock routing would have 4 extra bends PER pipe.

You can run straight back without a problem. Even giving plenty of clearance for the thermoplastic fuel cell shield the exhaust would not hang lower then the SVT sideskirts. So if you hit the exhaust you have already crushed all four ground effects too!

I ran an F-body exhaust setup and straight back duals would give at least 1.5-2" more of ground clearance then that and I never grounded the muffler out with that setup.
