Default Opinions please!!

I know, I know......opinions are just that.....opinions. I've tried to stay away from questions like "What is the best sounding exhaust?" Because the answers are only one person's preference. But, I've been considering something. My neighbor (down the street) is a real hot rodder...he has several show cars. He has offered to paint ghost flames (with flip-flop paint) on my C5 (Quicksilver with red interior) for just the cost of the materials!! I'm taking him up on the offer. But I'm thinking of adding something. I have the plain red plastic letters on the rear bumper. I'm considering removing them, and, have them painted the same flip-flop as the ghost flames will be. Then reinstall them. What do you folks think?
And, #2.....I've also considered adding the electric exhaust cut-outs. I've seen several installations for them, but don't care for the way they were done. I have been thinking of installing them behind the rear axle, where the exhaust makes the 90 degree turn towards the outside of the car, (By the way, I have the 2 tip BORLA stingers) instead of in front of the axle as many others have done. But, then running the cut-out outlets to the rear through 2 more BORLA tips to match my existing tips. 2 tips for the regular stingers and 2 tips for the open system. I figure it would look just like the 4 tip system.
So.....whatcha ya'll think???

#1. Yes, would look very

#2. If you can get the pipes to line up and appear as a "real" four-tip system, it should look great.

Good luck.
