Here you go - Chuck's build website shows his efforts to fit ERA undercar exhaust with the ERA rear.

I'm building an undercar exhaust car and ended up going with the Jag rear to make sure it would fit. ERA uses 2 inch pipe which is a little too small for a good size motor. They were not willing to venture into experimenting with a larger size pipe since they didn't know for certain what I would end up running in terms of wheels and tires. I'm running 255/60-15 tires on 9-1/2 inch wheels and I have about 3-3/4 inches of room so I feel pretty good about being able to snake 2-1/2 inch pipes through there now.
I have wondered if undercar exhaust couldn't be made to work with the ERA rear by running the over-the-axle pipe section up higher in the well well, but I suspect ERA has looked at this.
Also, I'm not personally a fan of the ERA tailpipes (sorry Peter). they don't drop down far enough past the axle and end up running at a downward angle out the rear. The originals came down slightly below the bottom of the rear fender tuck under and ran at a slight upward angle to the rear. You can see this in Chuck Brandt's photos in his build site. Another reason to have your own tailpipes fabricated.
