Making custom exhaust for the ride

Not being satisfied with the sound that the car is producing currently, and since i bought it for that matter, I finally got around to starting on it. Here are a couple starter photos for ya.
I wanted to shorten the exhaust radically enough to install two 4" round magna flow mufflers. They're 14" long in the body. The stock exhaust route goes to single under the cabin then splits back to two pipes to achieve the dual exhaust at the rear. I wanted to start at that y and install said mufflers there.
I am NOT finished yet. it so happens that it is just a tad loud at this point. It's actually pretty good outside imo. but inside the cabin, as my 2.5 year old would say, "it's really bumpy daddy". Kinda loud inside.
What do you guys think? probably a little extreme for most everybody on here I think. But it's different...
Oh yeah the last one is all the pipe i removed.

The reason for the loudness in the cabin is the sound waves bounce between the road and the floorpan. If you have some simple pipes bent from the muffler outlets exiting in front of the rear tires the sound will be reduced dramatically. Or extend to the rear bumper. You can keep the pipe above bumper level and use 45 degree turn downs at the bumper if you want the system hidden.
What size are those Magnaflows, 2", 2.25" or 2.5"?

My issue is that now that i've extended it again i'm getting the horrible tin-eee sound again at higher rpm. I hate it! perhaps a resonator. idk.
they are 2.25"
