I'd just run the pipes straight as hell, and not worry about the visuals.
Haha, they will only be seeing you're back end up close for a couple seconds before you disappear...

If they are going to be seeing the backend most, wouldnt you then want to make the back look the best?

Thats where all my visuals are going =P

1. Weight - Adding larger piping and at the same time MORE piping will increase the weight of the vehicle. The more weight a vehicle has, effectively, the harder the engine has to work to move the vehicle.

IDK, just seems like no more than 20lbs worth of pipe at the most, maybe I'm wrong but doesn't seem like a big issue...

To quote a great line I read from this forum.

"adding 1 or 2hp is like removing a brick from your back seat. Go put a brick in your backseat next time you drive and tell me if you feel the difference."

lol

the other option is to just hang the muffler and tip back there. inother words, have one actual muffler, and the other just kinda "sit" there, if you are that worried about the performance.

jpizzle had a set put on his car, and the only issue i have is that the plastic on the back, it is obvious where it was cut.
