Default need help making a decision...exhaust or not to exhaust

so as some of you folks know i am doing the whole VIP theme. right now my current exhaust setup is tanabe exhaust with sns mid pipes.{ car sounds great drones alittle **i was thinking just have the jobdesign tip welded to my tanabe exhaust. my other option i was thinking was going completely stock exhaust setup with my jobdesign exhaust tips welded on to finish my SEMA setup..and keep it nice and quiet for a much nicer luxury ride/sound

I agree with dj.

Exhaust mods are like a push-up bra IMO. If there's nothing behind it, you're not really fooling anyone.

My favorite bumper....I like to hear the performance of my car so I say go aftermarket or custom. I love how my GS sounds.
