i did this with mine. its pretty common on race cars. i remember like 10 years ago, a friend of mine did a back to back test of over vs under, and the bend going up and over makes less power.
there is less ground clearance going under, and it does limit the suspension droop (axle hits exhaust)
its also pretty simple to do, instead of bending up, the exhaust goes down slightly and under, muffler doesnt move much
anything over 3" wont fit

Well I'm on my way to go do this now. My fart cannon hasn't arrived yet but I'm just going to run the bulk of the exhaust (straight pipe). **** expensive mufflers, and cheap mufflers don't last (which gets expensive). It's not my DD so straight pipes + fart can for me. We'll see if I can take it or if I puss out and get mufflers.

i guess they vary in quality? ive got one that looks good except its not equal length, collector is nice, bend are nice
just be aware that header and only one muffler is going to be LOUD, the rotary exhaust opens much much faster than a piston and theres no exhaust valve in the way, so lots and lot of noise comes out.
