Default Guys with CUSTOM true dual setups

Hey guys, I have a 98 Z with SLP LTs, SLP ORY and a stock catback with a Flowmaster muffler and a cutout that I leave open. It has horrible, metallic rasp.

I was debating on ditching the catback and running a bullet muffler underneath the car at the end of the Y-pipe to save some weight/money. However, I have an SLP CME and want to maintain that look. Can an exhaust shop keep my tips hanging out the rear even if I'm dumped under the car? I know it will be LOUD, I'm fine with that. However, will it still have a metallic rasp (almost like a piece of metal is rattling, its not, but it sounds like it). Anybody have any sound clips of this setup? I was leaning towards the Borla to try and hush it up as much as possible. The neighbors will kill me with the TRex coming up.

Or.. a custom true dual setup. I was thinking of running a custom H-pipe out the back and having each pipe dumped under the car through bullets. I don't feel like paying to have it go over the axle and out the back. Again, could I have an exhaust shop keep my tips hanging in the CME valence? Would this setup have any more power over the first setup I listed? What did you all pay for your custom true dual setup? Thanks everyone

My custom dumped TD's cost -

$100 for 2 Magnaflow mufflers
$150 for local exhaust shop to fab up the x-pipe and install everything

Being you have CME I'd do it right and run the TD's out CME tips. I think the car will look weird with the dumps hanging out the bottom, then having another set of tips at the rear.

You can have them hanging there and just add a hanger at the end of the pipe closest to where the dump is and they wont point downward or swing side to side.
