From that pic the bluebird one isn't a complete system - it's missing the headers (or J tubes), it is infact just a replacement for the original rear box and it looks really deep, you might have clearence problems with the rear valance.
If you look at the right of the pic of the speedshop sysytem you can see the flanges where the headers meet the 4-1 collector pipe, thats about the same place the bluebird system fits (the speedshop one looks noticeably shorter abd it comes close to the valance).
I'd still recommend the speedshop one, mines been on for several months now and has quietened down nicely, I've got a caravelle with RnR bed and 4" foam mattress over the engine lid and I've put flashing tape on the inside of all the panels and doors and I can drive at 70+ on the motorway and have a conversation with tthe kids in the back without having to shout at the top of my voice.
