Ok, exhaust help (unique setup)

I'm going to be making my own exhaust for a 2002 VQ35, currently in a Sentra.

I decided I want a true dual exhaust from front to back, I'm going to chop it in starting from the headers and work my way back, 2.25"/side. I need some feedback on the following because I'm trying for both sound and performance.

First of all, here's how I plan to route it. I only have maximum 7" in the channel under the car, the pipes will be running side by side.



First stop, I'm thinking of an X-pipe just after the headers.
Move into 2 independent glasspack-type resonators by vibrant: link
A few flanges I can have cut at a local shop.
Ending up in a dual-in, dual-out, muffler by vibrant: link

Please give me some input and suggestions on the setup.

I don't think there is enough room for 2 pipes to snake over the rear axle to the muffler.

this would be the hard part, it was with my custom made exhaust. But maby if you bought 2 aftermarket backpipes that are identical and run them side by side you could get away with it because of the perfect identical designs. Good luck
