Default Ricey or not????

Need some opinions...I ditched the factory exhaust for a M/T off-road pipe and a MAC catback exhaust. I love the sound, but I have a problem with the looks. The MAC system is 2 1/2 inch pipe all the way back including the nice shiney tips. The factory tips were 3 inch and filled out the cutouts in the GT bumper just a little better. What do you think about putting some 3 or 3 1/2 inch rolled edge tips on the MAC system? I dont want the 5 inch coffee can import look, but you'd be surprised how much of a difference that 1/2 inch can make. Any thoughts?

Mine are 3.5" tips... from the Steeda GT Cat Back System. Even 4" would be okay... but any larger and you'd be pushing the envelope for sure.

Shaker, those 3.5"s are pretty much what I am looking at...the only problem is finding a set that are short enought to clear the hangers...

Maybe I should just use this as an excuse to get a different exhaust setup...
