RE: Changed my exhaust
HotRods - if you plan to lower your car whatsoever, forget side exhaust. Also, you'r flowmaster 40s cannot be used on a side exhaust system. You have two openings on one side, and one on the other, right? The two on the one side are BOTH inputs, so if you close off the output and plan to use one of the inputs as an output, you'll have A LOT of back pressure and a bad sounding exhaust. On my side exhaust, I used Flo-Pro like matthockey mentioned earlier. They make a great, low-cost muffler with inlet/outlet on the same side like you'd need, and it sounds great.
But yeah, I haven't lowered my car a bit, and I bottom out ever so often. The guy fabbed my exhaust system as high as physically possible, but side exhaust systems are just inherantly lower than traditional exhaust. Lowering your car 2" would be a death sentence for your mufflers and maybe the tips, if they're very tall, on side exhaust.

But if I go with a side exhaust, it will be a custom Flowmaster set up for sure.
Hey Matt, how about a pic of your exhaust? I'd love to see it so I can get some ideas.

RE: Changed my exhaust
On my Cingular, pics aren't on a website. However, you can e-mail them for something like $0.40 a piece. So you could just e-mail to yourself (from your phone) download the pics from your e-mail to your computer, and them upload them to this site. Not real easy, but do-able! Also, if your phone came with a cable, you can transfer the pics straight to your computer for free, and it's a lot easier. I have the Nokia 6620, and it came with a USB cable.
Anyways, good luck!
