Arrow Opinions on a single outlet centered exhaust

Im thinking of going with a single outlet exhaust on my fc but I despise the retarted look it gives the car. How do you guys think a single outlet exhaust with the muffler in the center would look. Possibly with a rear skirt w/cutout or diffuser around it. Maybe even a dual tip like on the mini coopers. Im just looking for some opinions.

LMAO, I think it looks pretty good on the amemiya fd and the zonda. How about the dual tips idea?

first off. how can you do that? there are so many things in the way. namely the gastank (why would you run exhaust under that?)
rear diff (nuff said)
spare tire well (you could cut it out i guess)
besides, why not just run a duel exhaust, such as the knight sport or rb exhaust? looks great, sounds great.
i do agree that the zonda and the amemiya fd do look hot. but thats the difference between a fully buit car and a 1980's car. wont happen. sorry bud.
hell, i LOVE the borla exhaust for the mercialago, quad pipes out the center, SO HOT

peace

WHOA!!! Someone took things a little far... Anyway Iwas just throwing around the idea, I want to go with a single exhaust but i hate the unbalanced look on the fc. I think you guys are right about it not being able to fit anyway. I considered cutting and rewelding the spare tire well but I didnt think much about the diff.

Obviously, you haven't looked under your car yet...

The diff is not the problem.
The stock exhaust splits right before the diff, and you can easily route pipes next to it.
The gas tank is the biggest problem.
The spare tire well can be cut out and removed if you want - that gives you about 6" is space.
The gas tank takes up most of the space - dead center - in the rear.

You planning to move the gas tank too?

it looks good on the zonda because it has four individual holes in the exhaust which makes it more badass and more like it has a gatling gun in the back.

how about having it exit on one side but have a spinning gattling gun tip like on the OCC chopper for the National Gaurd?
