Default Exhaust Tunnel Width

Anyone the width of the exhaust tunnel? My car is in the shop so I cant measure it. I want to see if a 2in 2out Dynomax muffler will fit in there. I believe the muffler is 9.75in wide.

A tunnel plate is 8 3/4" wide. I wouldnt go over 8.5" wide to allow some clearance so it wont rattle.

If you're looking for a cheap muffler solution, 2 dynomax bullet style mufflers will fit in the tunnel side by side.
