Half-assed exhaust mockup

My dream for my 09 catback is to get an RB catback and modify it to be a single exit in the center like exotics have. Made this in mspaint and took the out from a Murcielago. I'm a noob so my questions are is it possible and if so does it look good?

Discuss.

^ Thanks, that panel is removable too, it's where the rear fog light goes for Euro cars, so that would make fabbing a new surround for the tip would be fairly simple. I should email RB and see if they think it's possible.

Singles look ok, but every one I've seen do nothing to cover up the old bumper openings. Kinda janky.

I'd probably have something made up. If this happens it's going to be expensive so I'm not going to cut corners and ruin it.

Too bad those shapes will never happen. I think the most feasible option is to throw a resonator into the pipe from midpipe to muffler and go straight out the back with the RB Furai muffler.

the second one needs to be dropped down more and then it will look better.

i've always had a rough idea to go dual center exit. it will happen eventually.
