Theres nothing wrong with keeping the side pipes but if you are going to do all that body work you might as well fill in the holes for the side pipes and run under car exhaust if thats what you want.........
mine runs outside the frame and loops up and over the rear axle inside the rear wheel well and out the back.......if you go to my profile you can see the pics.
I always liked the look of a street car also and my body man screamed when i told him i wanted the inside of the hood the body color......he said it was the hardest hood he had ever done to get the curve done properly....it turned out great...
