I would definitely look into another pipe/muffler option. A 2" diameter pipe is going to choke the poo-poo out of an engine. On a 500-600hp engine, I usually recommend around 3" exhaust.

With that being said, most sidepipes are killer restrictive as well and you usually can't even roll a golf ball through one.

I would have your builder or ERA look into some different options. There are oval pipe and muffler designs out now that will fit into small areas and increase flow area.
