Need help Picking out new Tips to set off my exhaust....w/n

Well most of you know that I am going to be installing headers and a whole brand new exhaust on my V6. When I was looking at the new Summit catalog they had all these types of exhaust tips in there. Here are my options:
1) The unusual one: have the exhaust outlets barely exit out the Flowmaster and have the tips angle down towards the groud (you would not be able to see them)
2) Pace Setter Monza Exhaust tips w/ Resonators. The inlet would be 2.5" and the oulet would be 3.5", should I go w/ either the single 3" out to each pipe or go w/ the dual 3" outlet to each pipe?
3) Or should I just get the same type of tips that I have which are 3.5" chrome and have them coated and installed?

Keep in mind that I would like to get the sound as different as I could. I think that the Monza tips would be killer but would it make the tone quiuter or actually louder? To me louder is better, I don't like a baffled sound and this is on a 2.8L

Are these the options you prefer or just the ones you've seen so far? Personally,I like the 4th gen rectangular ones,but chrome instead of black. But the Pacesetters,I think, would be cool too if you got the dual out.

Hey good idea bro, I never thought of that. That would look sick!!!! These are only what I've seen so far, got any other ideas for the tips bro? I would kinda like it to have a resonator b/c it would make it louder but shoot me all your ideas & stuff. Thanx

I always thought quad tips would look pretty killer. I think Monza sells em' in summit. That's what I'm gonna do when I have a few bucks for tips.

That's the ones that I was leaning towards were the 3" quad tips w/ the resonators on them. I love loud cars so long as they sound good; do you guys think that my car would sound too loud w/ my Flowmaster, new full exhaust expanded out to 2.5", quad tips w/ resonators, a high flow CAT & ceramic coated headers? Or do you guys think it would just sound bitchin? Later
