Default side exits

I need a new exhaust (old ones blown out) and im thinking of dual side exits going out just in front of the rear tires, since my hi-flow cat back system moved everything up a little further this would be possible but only if i use straight pipes after the catalytic converter...would this be obnoxiously loud? I had a supercharged 3.8l buick riv with just a cat and straight pipes and it sounded fine but it also ran at 1,500rpms highway speed compared to 2,300-2,100rpms for the Z, and im also concerned it would sound like S**t without some kind of muffler, what do you guys think?

If it's not a built engine it's probably going to sound cheap and unrefined at low-med revs (like mine) but sounds pretty bad ass at the higher revs (IMO).

Where would the exhaust exit? in front of the tire in the fender well?
rear rocker? The rocker might be a bit tricky.

if you have a turbo car, it will sound good, but be too loud. i had stock piping all the way back, minus the cat and muffler. sounded sexxay, but too loud. at least thats what the state trooper told me.

if anything, get a magnaflow!

yes it will sound awesome, but will be quite loud. cops and old people will definately look at you more! thats why i have a magnaflow muffler on mine. still sounds great and flows well through the straight thru-ness of it!
