largest rear muffler placement on a 240

SO I have decided to go steath with the next round of my car. I really like driving my 86 240 wagon and not hear all the exaust noise every day. My set up was not lound at freeway speeds but around town it was not too bad. The buick guys have put systems on that are so quite that you can hear the lifters in the motor. I am not kidding I have heard one of these cars. The problem I have is I can not fit the same setup they have. I am sure I could over long period of guess work and laying under the car for hours upon hours. I have been known to do this LOL. Anyways I have tried to do a search and could not find anything on 240s with exhaust systems, mainly v8 or 5.0 swaps. If you guys have any imput that would be great. I know that some of the 740 guys have lots more room to work with. This picture is of a buick set up. The front ovals could be replaced with the 6 " rounds also. The key muffler is the one in the back. If you would like to read the thread its at.
