Default Opinions Needed Exhaust

My car is getting along slowly but surely ...

I was wondering how to do things with the exhaust tail pipes. Before restoration I had two pipes ending under the rear bumper and was facing problems with the chrome changing color / darken to the point where I had trouble polishing it again.

I could now just add two 45° pipes facing downwards, quick and easy , but Exhaust fumes will stay under the car and might mess up my nice finishing. Plus they might get into the cabin easier.

If I come out straight and then up, ending in the middle under the bumper with two pipes it will look cool, but I will additionally heat up fuel tank, filter, pump, plus I have interference with the diff.

I was thinking to go out and route the pipes next to the tank (left and right), but the pipes might be seen from the side and though stainless stell might look ugly (simulated quick and dirty on one pic wouldnt look like that of course)

I could also just make a 90 on each side and end up in front of the rear tire but that seems outdated.

I am just intereted if anyone comes up with a nice idea .. thx.

Merry christmas and a great start into 2009 ...
