Leave the tails on. Also dumps will not pass inspection in some states. Dumps make a blowing sound under acceleration.

No sense cutting up perfectly good tailpipes.

I run dumps, they dump right in front of the rear end, I have no issues with them and they sound awesome to boot.

I agree with the ^^^^, your car, BUT I think that the LX's look great with those tailpipes! ...I had dumps, got sick of the sound!
