Really? A tail pipe is a tail pipe.

Only because you asked ...... bad idea. What you propose will gain you no extra performance as mentioned above. What it will do is make the car sound obnoxious. If you really want to make the car sound better .... then save your money until you can afford a good set of long tube headers & retain the stock exhaust pipes and mufflers.
