It would need a front & rear WW body kit pieces to balance it out.

Otherwise it looks like a pot-bellied big.

IMHO, that's the worst exhaust idea ever on an f-body.

It think cars have to have that classic 'coke bottle' shape to look good with sidepipes.

If you are going to use the side pipes, you might as well go all the way to complete the look:

There is a guy in my city with a white LT1 Z with sidepipes, it looks killer in person.

imagine how bad you would drag with those hanging down so low. The only sidepipes that would look good IMO would be TD's into boom tubes on either side.
