Default Moving muffler on a 2 door

I'm looking to add an On Board Air system to my 2 door. I'm looking to move the muffler and install the tank in its place. Has anybody had any luck moving a round muffler under the driver floor board on a 2 door as they do on the 4 door? Also, would like a muffler that's inexpensive but still sounds ok?

Cherry Bomb muffler. They cost about $30-$50 and it's an easy install.

Basically, it replaces the pipe just to the driver side of your EVAP canister.

You can do a tailpipe that dumps down right after the muffler, or you can tie into your stock pipe but have it dump down after it goes over the axle.

How did it sound? Did it sound normal, hot roddish (is that a word), or a rice burner? It's tough to buy something and start cutting when you really don't know what it's going to sound like.

It will be louder, but it isn't too much for me.
