It depends on my mood. Dumps at the axle is great for thumping around but they kick up all kinds of dust and is super loud, very bassey.

Tails are part of an LX.

Dumps are okay if you run em with a 45* turn down. Dynomax Race Bullets aren't too bassey... I'll have to post a video of my car at idle and a few revs tomorrow... although it is all one 3" pipe.

dumps are the way to go on a gt because tailpipes don't look good with the low rear bumper. Tailpipes on a lx I think look way better than dumps though. Without tailpipes the lx looks way too much like a escort/4 cylinder car.
