Fair enough mate, think it'll look nice and tbh you could get your DEP looking brand new again for a small price and bit of elbow grease. Or you could try out another front pipe and give us the comparison, i.e; arrow, firebox, ginaelli, scalvini etc.....if i was you with your big bucks i'd go with a hand made scarov/scalvini system from italy, they're expensive but the best pipes you can get for the DT.
