I have a Ravin exhaust with a Catgo cat I really like the sound. I happen to be a fan of round slash cuts. Mine are out maybe an inch or two too far but heres a pic.

those do stick out a bit much... i want something that is flush with my bumper i was thinking something about gettin new GFX that i could cut holes in the back and stick the tips out there or crossing the mufflers under the tank and putting the tips right out behind or infront of the back tires... what do you think?

As for looks and sound the flowmaster american thunder catback can't be beat IMO. The 3 inch slach cut polished stainless tips look great and the chambered flowmaster sounds great too. Best combo IMO.

so far i haven't seen a dual exhaust system yet. all of those are the single catback into dual tips. if you want real dual exhuast, be willing to sacrifice some ride height. and also be willing to deal with a little louder car. (like me!

I personally have grown found of the hidden exhaust pipe look. Basically you cannot see the tip at all. If you look at my pic you can't even see the tip. But that's not to say that I don't like seeing a set of chrome tips, they look good too. As long as they don't hang or stick out too far.

how much ride height are we talking here? cuz i want to get rid of the fender gap that i have too by lowering the car aswell. I like the hidden look but i was thinking something that came out the back like right behind or infront of the rear tires, cut into the side skirts or rear bumper right there.

i would probably not consider running true duals if your going to lower your car.
about running it throught the side skirt, if you wanna do that you will have to either make your gfx longer or you will have to modify the unibody. go look under your car and you will see what i mean.
