Default Exhaust Plate Recommendation???

Have narrowed down to 4 plates. Looking for recommendations from those that have seen these plates installed with a stock exhaust. Leaning towards the plates that flare out either the top or bottom for more coverage vs the square ones.

1-LAPD (#1LCEP) flares out on top and bottom for complete coverage with a rolled bottom lip for $99.95.

2-West Coast Corvettes (#15100026) with the top flared out for $49.95.

3-Corvettes of Houston (#3529) with the top flared out for $159.95.

4-SS Inserts (#C5EP) with mirror finish flared out at the bottom for $65.

I think a lot depends on you exhaust. I would say either 1 or 2 though. Post some pics after you get it installed.
