As a kid, I had a model car that had the fender cut away a bit to clear those just behind the front fenderwell.  I plan on photoshopping that with my car.  But to have them come out back there looks good too.

Zoomies FTW

This ain't the model, but it's similar.

Is this an homage to the Mad Max Pursuit Special?

Hard to tell, but yes.  A single pipe could look pretty good, depending on execution.

if you want to keep lers on it you have to put a couple of tight 90 bends. It would be for austhetics only.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The second looks better.If the tips are somewhat rectangle,like the Nascar type exhaust,that would look great,and not out past the body much.My buddy just had some stainless tips made for his '67 Stang,and used lers from Spintech.The inlet and outlet are on the same side of the ler like the old AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger.It made using side exhaust a LOT easier,and,they sound REALLY angry......which is a good thing.Tips on each side.It should look symmetrical.
