I'm adding dual exhaust to my sixer (gasp).

There are two options, as far as how to dress out the rear-end...at least, the 2 that I like. For NEARLY the same amount of money I can do one of the following.

1.) Purchase the Street-Scene lower valance for the stock v6 bumper. Dual openings and similar design to the CS bumper (kinda). I like this look. I could leave the bottom flat black to match the flat black rockers on the car (I ahve a black car, too) and the flat black chin-spoiler up front.

2.) rear gt bumper and gt rocker-panels...NOT flat black (obviously) but would be gloss all the way around the bottom.

I'm really stuck...but leaning towards the GT take-off parts.

Any words to the wise (or other-wise)?

Thanks!

I think the GT rear would look great. I love the look of dual exhaust.

Go with the matching rockers, and Cervinis makes some nice lip kits for the 6 that would look great.

Nice quote btw.

Personally, I've always preferred the look of the v6 bumper cover. I put duals on a 2000 v6 once and it sounded like a ricer. You may want to listen to one done up this way to see if you like the sound. Most likely the sound could have changed.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I've already heard, in person, quite a few options...and I'm happy with what I've decided on.

I think I'm still leaning towards the GT bumper cover.

Thanks for everyone's opinion.
