Default foxbody sidepipes Yeh or Neh?

So I hear a lot of guys say that dumps are not the way to go, well I was thinking maybe runng side exit exhaust, it'd prolly need a 45*bend off the muffs and then run the pipe and tips out the sideskirt. I was thinking of just removing the small GT scoop panel and leaving the rest of the skirt on and either running a dual or single tip config. I always liked how sidepipes sounded, sorta sounded like two seperate cars. I've seen it done once on a GT convert. the dude used the sn95 side exit exhaust sideskirts and molded em to his fox, they sounded sweet. But eventually I want the cobra/saleen style sides and will just cut out the area where the tips will show. Any input, feedback, questions, comments, concerns?

you know .. there used to be about 3 or 4 companies that sold these back in the day ... but i've been searching for like 10 mins and can't find anything anymore. so i'm assuming that whoever used to make 'em for the foxes has gone out of business .... i know cervinis used to sell them and i think CDC .. but they're not on the websites any more.... even nothing on e-bay ... Sorry man!

but if you do something custom, i think this would look the sex on a LX

The white one is cool but real side pipes, ohhhh yuck. I think just run your 2 1/2" pipe or what ever size you have to a long 3" or 3 1/2" slash cut tip at an angle infront of the rear tire. Turn the slash so it is parallel to the body. Here are some pics. Not mustangs but will give you an idea.
