I have oval pipes, you just transition to round where you dont need the ground clearance.

I have a cool idea for a franken car. Id take a late 70s Vette, add an early 70s front bumper and and early 80s rear bumper for a one off look. Id take an 80s truck motor build it fully forged with aftermarket everything, add an intercooled Procharger, a 6 speed transmission from a late 90s Trans Am, cut suspension from a BB Gymkhana setup, low profile 19" tires, Brakes from a Z51 C6, and hollow out the IRS for 12 bolt internals. Solid mounts, urethane bushings, ceramic headers, mandrel bends, and weight reduction all over.
