Default Exhaust tips for 68 gto

I don’t really care for the stock trumpets on the 68 . I was actually considering splitters like on a 72 . Any thoughts or advice ? What do you guys run ?

I don't care for them either and prefer the slight downturn of the exhaust pipe peeking out below the bumper

Knocked down the ride height as well, the full side view shows the exhaust
