Default opinion needed

i was thinking of taking off my rusted 3.5" hooker exhaust tips and putting some turn down pipes instead. for more of a steath look, possibly painting them black...( black car )
what do you guys/gals think of this?

I usually think that tips look a little better than no tips, but if you were going for a stealth look, no tips kicks butt.

Personally I like the way fbodys look without exhaust better than with it. But it is your opinion because you are going to be the one who drives it.
