That will be more trouble than it's worth.
Don't be so stuck on the catalog shopping. Look at the designs that work well. They have similar elements. Tubular manifolds or shorty headers, medium diameter pipe, a cross over of some kind, mandrel bends, free flowing mufflers as far back as possible.
Either order up a collection of bends and pipe to weld up your own system, or take it to a quality custom exhaust shop. You'll spend about the same.

not worth it. you will have to splice and dice so much to make it work.
If you have the skills needed to make it work you could pretty much piece a similar system together for close to the same price but have it done with parts that will require far less chopping

for a catalog fit, you are correct. A custom system with a x-pipe or H-pipe, properly installed, with some sort of muffler beyond an old school turbo muffler, will run about that.
The system pictured isn't mandrel bent, either. I would personally skip anything with kinked bends.

IMO ----- bends better than these, and X or H pipes are effective and somewhat helpful, albeit VASTLY OVER RATED...
