There have been some past posts from the performance-oriented on this board indicating that they've done just what you're describing, but for sporting reasons. Seems they've agreed that the noise factor isn't much more pronounced without the mid muffler. I suppose (not sure) that the absence of the mid muffler would reduce backpressure, no?
I wonder if there'd be a fair amount of bending and so forth to fit the pipe into its place under the body? The mid muffler does seem to have some odd angles to it, especially as it passes up over the axle. If that's the case then a replacement mid muffler from site sponsors might not cost you anything extra, and would be a quick fit. Might want to check them out (I'm not a shill for them, but I've used eEuroparts for exhaust bits with great satisfaction).
