    You asked, I think it would not look so good.
    If a budget muffler system is what you have
    in mind, you can get some universal kits to
    do it yourself.

    Keep in mind, mufflers/exhaust aren't just to
    keep cars quiet, they also keep fumes from
    coming into the car. IF you dump them at
    the front wheels you will get lots of noise
    as well as fumes.

    For loudness, go with something like Cherry
    Bomb or Glasspack mufflers. A friend of mine
    has a 302 with headers, Hooker Aero Chamber
    mufflers in 2.5 and it is as loud as heck.

    I have the same setup in 2.25 except mine
    has an X-pipe installed and it is half as loud.
    Don't use a crossover and you will get more
    noise. Run them at least to the axle underneath.

    To get the most decibiles, go without mufflers. However, the local law might have a different opinion.
