well it will look better because you will not have that tube sticking out behind the rear axle, a lot of people think dumped exhaust looks better on our cars anyways. And all the "extra work" will take 2 mins. Just loosen the bolt clamping the i pipe to the y pipe ans then turn the i-pipe 180* then tighten it down. That is it. And it will look much better.

IF you find you don't like the sound, you could always put a bullet muffler in the ipipe and then a turndown after. Dynomouth it's referred to. Good sound, flow comparable or better to any catback (except for true duals) . It's a dynomax race bullet, cost 40bux. Probably cost you 100 total installed from a muffler shop.
