Mike the car is a bit too shiny to see how a 5 inch pipe makes it out through/under the fender. This can be a problem with ground clearance. Love the new digital pictures, Nice pipes but a little too loud for me. I am old but still appreciate my hearing.
They will look good on your car.

Yeah, the pipes are ultra slick OK, but those pictures are tempting me to break the promise to myself to never paint my car again
