Yes the battery box WILL be in the way. That's why you have to either run just straight pipe to dual tips or put a round resonator type or oval offset muffler set on it's side on the pass side. You cannot run two mufflers in the pass side space. Dont need them tho, it's just fine. Depends on how loud you want it. If you have 4 seperate oval tips, I think your going to have issues.

I did oval canister resonators with 3.5 dual round tips. I also put thermal wrap around the battery box just to make sure the heat doesn't harm the battery.

That looks good. I didn't even think about the heat issue with the battery, the tray under it had to be removed, but then again my shotgun type resonators are further forward at that angle before it straightens to the tips.
