Default Custom Exhaust (Pics)

So I decided to go with a custom exhaust that is unique and thinking outside of the box this is what we came up with. Also, added a Blackwing yesterday. Straight pipes with 4" tips. As for now I like how they turned out, although I think most people will frown upon this idea. I would like to hear any opinions that you guys may have.
Thanks

Loud, of coarse, but that's what I was going for. I love the tone and is pretty decent while crusing.

It's different - nothing wrong with thinking outside the box.

I personally prefer the traditional C5 exhaust look but good to see variety too.

Not bad!! Looks a lot better than many mods I've seen. You get an A for creativity!! How about some more details about the rest of the system! Stock manifolds or headers,cats,X-pipe?? Inquiring minds want to know!!Well done!!

Thanks guys! Actually, the axle back and the blackwing are the first items so far, but we all know it doesn't stop there. When more funds become available, probably gonna finish the whole exhaust. Otherwise I was thinking cosmetics in the engine bay or interior. Gotta love the endless possibilities!

just make sure those are stainless steel and not just chrome. they will start to peel after a year or two. my g/f had that same setup and she had the plain chrome.. it was alot cheaper than the stainless. but not worth it .

Thinking outside the box is a good thing! Do you have any pics of the underside?

I got to looking at your pipes again and I think it would look a lot better if you would of used some nice tips, The way it is now looks like it was done with just the pipes coming out. Kinda like low budget.

Not bad. I prefer the pipes to come straight out but still cool especially since they are custom. Love to hear a sound clip.

I like the uniqueness of the exits, but i think it could look better if they were rolled or pro style double-walled.
