Default Exhaust decision

Ok so i cant decide. Since my muffler got pushed in, and because of the rear bumper i was thinking of getting new mufflers/cat back system.

Here is my rear bumper now.


See how the left one is pushed in? No harm done tho.

Option #1
But because of the rear bumper i was thinking of these mufflers.


On the car



Option #2Here is the cat back system i was thinking of

I'm digging option #02. I think that the oval tips would fill in the gaps better in your rear diffuser. Just me though... I would turn them upside down.

Im not sure that system will fit without modification. The 6th gen montes and the 97-03 GPs have a straight piece of pipe after the flange. 5th gens have a turn down after the flange. At least the 95-97 montes do. I thought it was the same for the 98-99 but I could be wrong.

I'm diggin option 1 but don't think it would look the same without the spoiler from the 1st picture (i think it's called the brickyard spoiler) Both would definately set it off though

Im going in a different direction with that. My old next door neighbor has a 2005 ford mustang. In which i got my 05 ford mustang rims, well he is looking into buying a shelby wing for his mustang and said he would sell me his old wing. I figuered hell see what it looks like and if i like it i might give it a shot.

This is my old next door neighbors stang


Here is a better shot of the wing

I really dig option #1... Have always loved the dual exaust with individual dual tips... I notice they turn up at the end, wonder how good straight tips might look?...

I had a dynomax cat-back... big waste of money in my opinion. If you have an exhaust shop install it, they'll want another $100. The piping would have rubbed my trunk had I installed it.. the guy had to bend my pipes to make it work even though they were pre cut. I say just have a custom system done by a shop... the cat backs are bout $250 overpriced in my opinion. And the mandrel bending... I just think its a loto f money for a potential 3 hp and .2 mpgs.
