Sanity-check my idea for a custom exhaust

I have a 2017 hemi ram. Looking to do my first fab project. My idea is having a straight loud pipe to the rear tips, and a valve early on to have a quiet section that dumps under the truck. I have no experience welding, but I’ve ordered a flux core / mig welder that will be here soon. I plan to practice a ton before touching anything. My existing exhaust has a muffler and 2 resonators after it splits towards the rear. I plan to delete the muffler so it flows straight through to the resonators and exit when the valve is open. From the branched Y section, I’d like to have it quiet or mostly quiet for morning cold starts (I wake up at 4am and don’t want to be a bother). I understand I’ll have to freestyle the hanging / mounting but I’m not too concerned as I’ve seen some frame pieces that I can support the muffled section with. Is this possible for a first time welder?? I’m super optimistic I can do it without taking it to a shop. But I’m hoping to get some more experienced eyes on my idea. I think I’ve considered mostly everything, but someone tell me my concept isn’t impossible. Sorry the drawing isn’t to scale 😂 it’s a bit of a rough draft. Please and thanks for the help!!!
