Side Exit Exhaust Need Opinons (Pics included)

I am trying to layout my exhaust system on the cheap.. I have a friend who recently pulled some dynomax mufflers & side exit tips from his mustang.

They were free so I am considering using them.. but need some input. I mached the exhaust tip up to see what it would look like. I love the look of the tip but I am unsure about the pipe that feeds it. The tips feed from the front and then turn under the car. So the elbow feeding the tip is currently visible.

I am considering getting a new mandrel bend elbow and redo'ing the current configuration which would look a little better, it will all be painted black anyway.

or

I am thinking about trying to hacking the tips up.. moving the exhaust pipe so that feeds the front back corner or backside some where so its not so visible.

What are your thoughts.. here are what the tips currently look like.
